FrontStreet Coffee Yirgacheffe Washed Kochere Coffee Introduction

Kochere Production Area

Kochere is situated on a plateau at an altitude of 1650-1800 meters.

Ethiopia's main harvesting season is November and December. Most farmers do not use modern farming methods; instead, they manually care for coffee trees without using harmful pesticides or herbicides. Therefore, almost all Ethiopian coffee is organically grown by default, regardless of certification. The combination of original growing methods and precise processing has made coffee from this region world-renowned. Farm owner Neko said: "This time we didn't have time to prepare, but we will prepare for RFA organic certification for the next harvest."

Light roast brings unique lemon, floral and honey-like sweet aromas, with soft fruit acidity and citrus flavors, creating a fresh and bright taste. Without adding milk or sugar, the rich texture and unique soft floral notes shine through.

Washed coffee requires more resources (water) than natural processing, so the resulting washed green beans are of higher quality. Coffee beans are spread out on drying tables for proper ventilation, and to prevent over-fermentation, they are regularly turned.

Washed processing provides brighter acidity compared to natural processing, which gives Yirgacheffe its "clean" taste. We prefer washed Yirgacheffe because it's clearer.
