FrontStreet Coffee - Yirgacheffe Pour Over Tutorial
Yirgacheffe was originally a wetland town from Africa (around 2000 meters altitude). In the ancient language, [Yirga] means [settle down], and [Cheffe] means [wetland], therefore [Yirgacheffe] literally means [let us spend our lives in this fertile land].
A good Yirgacheffe will make you feel that the tip of your tongue is not rough. As your tongue slides across the palate and oral cavity, you might feel the silky, velvety coffee oils sliding in your mouth, slightly oily, heavy and viscous - it's a very interesting sensation.
The delightful flavors of coffee are all presented through aroma, taste, and mouthfeel. Appreciating the volatile aroma of coffee relies on smell, water-soluble taste relies on the sense of taste, and smooth mouthfeel is felt through the tactile sensation of the tongue and palate. If you can make good use of smell, taste, and touch when tasting each cup of coffee, magical senses will take you into a wonderful world of thousands of fragrances and flavors.
Chelba Cooperative
Chelba is a specialty green coffee cooperative located in the Gedeo region of Yirgacheffe. The Gedeo region has about 700 smallholder farmers who all send their harvested coffee fruits to Chelba Cooperative's processing plant for centralized processing. These small growers have an average planting area of 2 hectares. The total coffee cultivation area in this region is about 888 hectares. The cultivation altitude is 1900-2100 meters above sea level. The local climate temperature is suitable, with daytime temperatures of 25°C and nighttime temperatures of 18°C. They plant coffee trees next to subsistence crops and livestock-raising crops. The main local shade tree species are: acacia, podocarpus, and others.
Chelba Cooperative's processing plant mainly processes coffee fruits harvested from surrounding farmers. Before processing coffee fruits, Chelba always requires farmers to pick coffee fruits according to strict standards - they only pick mature red fruits. This is a very critical quality control step for specialty coffee. In the past few years, Chelba Cooperative's beans have been well-received.
Green beans processed using the Natural method have the sweetness of strawberry and blueberry, while green beans processed through the Washed method exhibit sweetness and acidity similar to citrus and apple.
Tasting Yirgacheffe
When you take a sip of Yirgacheffe, after a quick slurp, your retronasal olfaction might detect some black tea aroma. Take another slow sip - can you also feel that strong jasmine fragrance and lemon fruit acidity from the sides of your tongue? And can you taste the faint sweet citrus orange flavor from the tip of your tongue? Clean yet complex mouthfeel that is far from simple.
