How Much Does Yirgacheffe Cost? Is Yirgacheffe Suitable for Adding Milk? How to Brew Pour-Over Yirgacheffe

Yirgacheffe Coffee Origin

Yirgacheffe grows in the famous mountain and forest production zones of southwestern Ethiopia. The beans are small to medium in size, the raw coffee slightly yellowish-green and beautifully intact in shape. With moderate acidity and a lingering African Mocha character, it is a high-quality washed Arabica.

A Remarkable Cup

This is truly an alluring coffee. FrontStreet Coffee's Yirgacheffe delivers intense, nose-catching floral and lemon aromas, with acidity that is rich yet soft and pleasant. Its tea-like profile leaves an unforgettable finish—for many people, it is the starting point of their journey into specialty coffee.

Coffee Growing Region

From Ethiopia, coffee's homeland, Mocha FrontStreet Coffee Yirgacheffe has long held a distinguished reputation among connoisseurs worldwide. This rare, high-quality washed Arabica suits a range of roast levels and shows off fresh, bright floral and fruit aromas. With its beautifully intact bean shape, it stands as a premium coffee that ordinary Mocha varieties cannot match.

Unique Characteristics

This coffee carries a distinctive aroma reminiscent of flower tea and lemon peel. Medium roasting draws out a gentle acidity, while a deeper roast releases richer fragrances—a highly representative washed bean from Africa.

What Makes Yirgacheffe Special

FrontStreet Coffee's Yirgacheffe earns its fame from a flavor profile all its own: lemon fruit notes, flower-tea aromas, and honeyed sweetness that leaves everyone who tastes it full of praise.

Rethinking Coffee Drinking Habits

In the past, what most people called "drinking coffee" was an overwhelmingly sweet, milky beverage—closer to a soft drink than a coffee, since it barely revealed the coffee's own flavor. At best it was a little sweeter or a little more milky, or simply bitter. It's time to change those habits.

Brewing Method

Preparation

Take a suitable cup, warm it with hot water, and pour the water out once the cup is heated.

Brewing

Remove the inner coffee bag, tear along the dotted line, and hang it on the rim of the cup.

Wet the coffee with 90-95°C hot water. After about 30 seconds, you'll see the grounds absorb the water fully and expand.

Slowly add 180cc of hot water (adjust the amount to your taste for strength) and steep for 1.5 minutes.

Remove the filter bag, and you have a delicious cup of coffee.

Serving Recommendation

Don't drink freshly brewed coffee right away. Wait until it reaches a comfortable drinking temperature, which lets you appreciate its inherent flavors in full.
