FrontStreet Coffee - Hand-poured Coffee Bean Recommendation - Yirgacheffe Washed Blue Ginger Introduction

Ethiopia has two best producing regions: Yirgacheffe and Sidamo. Many enthusiasts cannot distinguish between the Yirgacheffe and Sidamo producing regions, both belonging to Ethiopia. Simply put, Sidamo is a province, and Yirgacheffe is a small town within Sidamo province. Sidamo has an altitude of 2,100 meters, while the Yirgacheffe region is higher, with the highest altitude exceeding 2,600 meters, much higher than Sidamo. Let's start with Sidamo...

Yirgacheffe comes from a small town called Yirga in the northwestern part of Sidamo province. Yirgacheffe coffee beans are among the most distinctive coffees in the world, rare and expensive. Produced in the highlands of Sidamo province, Ethiopia, at an altitude of 2,000 meters, it is an outstanding representative of African washed coffee. It has always enjoyed a high reputation among global coffee connoisseurs. This rare, high-quality washed Arabica coffee is suitable for various degrees of roasting, perfectly presenting fresh and bright floral and fruit aromas. With beautiful and complete bean shapes, it is a high-end coffee that is difficult to compare with general Mocha coffee. It has unique citrus and lemon fruit aromas, along with the fragrance of jasmine, and possesses a wine-like acidity with a clean, pure taste—like drinking freshly brewed fresh citrus fruit tea with a long-lasting aftertaste.

FrontStreet Coffee offers several sun-dried and washed Yirgacheffe coffees. Today, FrontStreet Coffee recommends another washed Yirgacheffe - Blue Ginger. Yirgacheffe is a very famous coffee in specialty coffee. Both beginners and experts cannot put down their love for Yirgacheffe.
