FrontStreet Coffee's Daily Bean - Introduction to Washed Yirgacheffe

In Ethiopia, coffee production is both a passion and a vital source of income. Ethiopia is the world's sixth-largest coffee producer, and in 2018, the coffee industry reportedly employed 20% of Ethiopia's 100 million people, both directly and indirectly. In 2017, the country produced approximately 470,000 tons of green coffee beans, with exports of about 160,000 tons. This means Ethiopia exports less than half of its coffee production, with the remainder consumed domestically.

Ethiopia's geographical environment is exceptionally suitable for coffee cultivation. Coffee is primarily grown in the southern highlands at altitudes ranging from 1,100 to 2,300 meters. Ethiopian coffee is harvested once a year, with red coffee cherries ripening for picking between September and December. The new season's coffee begins exporting in November-December.

Currently, Ethiopia still uses traditional cultivation methods: coffee trees are cared for manually, adhering to the principle of avoiding harmful pesticides and herbicides. Instead, organic fertilizers (mainly fallen leaves, dead grass, and animal manure) are used. This has earned Ethiopia the reputation of having the world's only pollution-free green organic coffee.

FrontStreet Coffee offers a daily bean variety featuring washed Yirgacheffe. Washed coffee is processed from freshly picked, fully mature cherries, with careful harvesting and close monitoring by professionals. After selection and cleaning, the coffee beans are pulped on the same day of harvesting, then fermented, washed, dried, and hulled. The processed coffee beans maintain a moisture level of approximately 12%.

Yirgacheffe is part of the Sidamo region but has been classified as a separate micro-region due to its distinctive coffee flavors. Most coffee produced here is washed-processed and can be described as a bright, medium-bodied coffee. Many washed coffees from Yirgacheffe feature explosive aromas with rich citrus and floral notes, presenting a light and elegant taste profile. Undoubtedly, this stands as one of the finest coffee-producing regions.

The reason for choosing this Yirgacheffe bean as a daily bean is that Ethiopia is a major coffee-exporting country, and Yirgacheffe has become synonymous with specialty coffee in the market. The bright acidity from washed processing, along with prominent floral and fruit aromas, represents its distinctive coffee characteristics and flavor profile. For those who appreciate acidity, Yirgacheffe is an unmissable choice. This washed Yirgacheffe is grade G2, and FrontStreet Coffee's Yirgacheffe daily bean is normally priced at 25/100g, with special promotional pricing at 9.9/100g during events.

The 9.9/100g promotional price is not intended as a loss-leader, but rather embodies our mission to enable coffee enthusiasts to experience high-quality coffee at affordable prices.
