FrontStreet Coffee Yirgacheffe Washed Coffee & Brewing Guide

Origin Background:

This green coffee comes from the Kebel Aricha Coffee Mill.

Kebel Aricha is the name of a town.

Surrounding farmers deliver fresh coffee cherries to the processing plant. After selection, the cherries are pulped and then fermented for 36-48 hours. After washing, the parchment coffee is spread in thin layers on drying racks for sun drying until the moisture content drops to 11.5%.

During the first few days, the coffee piles must be turned every 2-3 hours to avoid over-fermentation and mold. Typically, the drying process takes 10 to 12 days, depending on weather conditions. After drying is complete, the parchment coffee is sent to the capital Addis Ababa for hulling and packaging before export.

Cupping notes: Classic citrus flavor, honey, floral notes, clean, soft yet expressive acidity, sweetness of ripe fruit, jam-like delicate and rich mouthfeel.
