Ethiopia Coffee - The Birthplace of Coffee
Hailed as the birthplace of coffee, Ethiopia Yirgacheffe coffee is grown in the Gedeo zone of southern Ethiopia with an average growing altitude of 2000 meters above sea level. Ethiopia Yirgacheffe coffee is recognized as some of the most unique, distinctive Ethiopian coffees, with notes of floral citrus and a clean mouthfeel that exemplifies why the Yirgacheffe growing region is so lauded within the coffee community.
Ethiopia Yirgacheffe is at the epicenter of coffee within the Sidoma Region of Ethiopia and produces nearly a billion pounds of coffee per year. Ethiopian coffee was first exported from the country in the 1600’s, before slowly waning due to coffee demand primarily being met by countries like Yemen and Java, which were a lot closer to ports in the colonial trade routes. But Ethiopian coffee was rediscovered with revamped curiosity in the 19th century for producing high quality, consistent coffee crops, emblematic of Ethiopian coffee’s Strictly Hard Beans (SHB) and Strictly High Grown (SHG) coffee that naturally occur within Ethiopia’s high altitudes that infuse the beans with nutrients from the soil and translates to a fruity tasting body with floral aromas.
Yirgacheffe coffee farmers are a part of the Yirgacheffe Coffee Farmers’ Cooperative Union (YCFCU), which represents over 45,000 small-holder farmers within the Ethiopian coffee industry and 28 cooperatives, and whose mission is to “promote and support the continuous development of sustainable coffee supply” within Ethiopia Yirgacheffe coffee growing areas. First established in 2002 as a political ally for small-holder farmers
