FrontStreet Coffee - Ethiopia Washed Yirgacheffe Adado G1 Introduction

The Adado Cooperative is one of the 26 member cooperatives of the Yirgacheffe Coffee Farmers Cooperatives Union (YCFCU). YCFCU now represents over 50,000 coffee farmers from more than 300,000 families. Established in June 2002, all 26 member cooperatives are located in the Gedeo region of southern Ethiopia, a very famous and important coffee producing area in Ethiopia.

Africa's Ethiopia is known as the coffee Garden of Eden, as it is the homeland of native coffee varieties and a genetic treasure trove for coffee cultivators. It has five major specialty coffee producing regions: Sidamo, Yirgacheffe, Harar, Limu, and Gimbi. Among these, Yirgacheffe is the highest altitude coffee producing region in Ethiopia, surrounded by mountains and water. The coffee beans produced there have a unique flavor, known by enthusiasts as the "Yirgacheffe flavor," characterized by rich jasmine floral notes, sweet orange fragrance, pleasant lemon acidity, and almond sweetness.

The Adado Cooperative comes from the Gedeo Zone of Yirgacheffe and is one of the founding cooperatives of the Yirgacheffe Coffee Farmers Cooperatives Union (YCFCU). It is also an important base for the Fair Trade Association in Ethiopia. Adado is situated in the lush high-altitude mountains between 2000 to 2400 meters, where 1250 farmers jointly work on coffee. They use traditional farming methods to interplant native coffee with enset (Ethiopian banana), allowing the enset to provide shade for the coffee trees while fertilizing the soil and adding unique flavors to the coffee. This batch of washed Yirgacheffe Adado G1 from the processing plant has been rated as G1, the highest grade by ECX.
