The Origin of Yirgacheffe

Yirgacheffe is a small town situated at an altitude of 700-2,100 meters, serving as synonymous with Ethiopian specialty coffee. This area has been wetland since ancient times, where the ancient word "Yirga" means "to settle down" and "Cheffe" means "wetland." The coffee production methods and flavors here are so outstanding that Ethiopian coffee farmers compete to be proud of their coffee bearing Yirgacheffe characteristics, making it one of Africa's most renowned coffee-growing regions.

Cultivation

Coffee trees are mostly planted in farmers' own backyards or mixed with other crops in their fields. Each household's production is limited, making it typical pastoral coffee. These mountain villages are shrouded in mist, with spring-like weather year-round. Summers bring gentle breezes—cool without being hot, rainy without being damp—and winters are free from frost damage, nurturing a unique regional flavor of citrus and florals.

Flavor Profile

The so-called "Yirgacheffe flavor" refers to intense jasmine floral notes, lemon, as well as peach and almond sweetness with tea-like aromatics. The tasting experience can be summarized in one sentence: as coffee enters the mouth, a hundred flowers bloom! It's like the delightful sensation of flowers touching both the taste buds and olfactory cells. Beyond the floral notes, the delicate body (mouthfeel) feels like silk massaging the mouth, creating a wonderful tactile sensation.

Heritage and Production

FrontStreet Coffee's Yirgacheffe coffee trees were originally cultivated by European monks (somewhat like Belgian monks growing grain to brew beer), later taken over by farmers or cooperatives. FrontStreet Coffee's Yirgacheffe is actually composed of surrounding coffee communities or cooperatives, including Idido near Misty Valley, Harfusa, Hama, and Biroya, all using washed processing, though small quantities of exceptional beans are intentionally natural-processed to enhance captivating fruity aromatics and body.
