Yirgacheffe is a renowned name in the specialty coffee world. It is a town located in the southern highlands of Ethiopia and serves as a collection center for nearby coffee beans. Additionally, it has become synonymous with specialty coffee produced in the Yirgacheffe region, characterized by rich citrus, lemon tones, and floral notes.

In the current ECX classification, Yirgacheffe can be further divided into four sub-regions: Kochere, Gelana Abaya, Yirgacheffe, and Wenago. However, generally speaking, Yirgacheffe refers to the collective term for coffee produced within the Gedeo administrative region.

This batch of Yirgacheffe was produced at the Kebel Aricha processing plant, with approximately 650-700 small coffee farmers in the vicinity. Farmers deliver ripe coffee cherries here for processing in exchange for cash. After the processing plant screens usable cherries, they are placed directly on drying racks for sun exposure. During the first few days of drying, the cherries are turned every 2-3 hours to prevent over-fermentation.

After four to six weeks of natural processing, workers use machines to scrape off the outer pulp depending on weather and temperature conditions, then transport them to Addis Ababa for storage. Typically, naturally processed beans are stored in parchment form until just before export when they are hulled to ensure green bean quality.
