The gold standard of Yirgacheffe

The Gedeb district is considered one of the finest micro-locations in the famous Yirgacheffe region. At a dizzying 2150 metres, in an agroforestry system, a thousand smallholders grow ancient heirloom varieties that have been part of their lives for centuries.

What makes this coffee special is the extreme attention to detail after the harvest. Our partner SNAP ferments the cherries for a full 60 hours, followed by a rigorous drying regime on African beds. The coffee is left in the sun only during the morning and late afternoon, and covered at midday to shield it from the strongest heat. That slow rhythm preserves the delicate floral aromas that define this classic.
