About Yirgacheffe

Yirgacheffe is a renowned name in the specialty coffee world, yet it can have many different meanings.

First, it refers to the name of a small town on the southern Ethiopian highlands, also a collection center for nearby coffee beans. Additionally, it denotes a coffee variety produced in the Gedeo province, characterized by rich lemon and floral notes.

Currently, in ECX classification, it's divided into four items: Kochere, Abaya, Yirgacheffe, and Wenago. Therefore, sometimes Yirgacheffe is also a general term for coffee produced in the Gedeo administrative region.

Of course, it can also be more narrowly defined as the specific item among the four major ECX categories in the Gedeo region named "Yirgacheffe"...
