ETHIOPIA YIRGACHEFFE ARICHA

The Yirgacheffe region is considered one of the powerhouses of Ethiopia. Coffees from this region tend to lean toward fruity and floral profiles. We’ve been sourcing coffee from Aricha village for some time and find it especially suitable for beginners using AeroPress and V60. For espresso, however, it can be very vibrant but trickier to extract. Sweet blueberry and crisp red apple show up in both the aroma and taste. TThe body is dense and juicy, similar to ripe melon or papaya.

RADICAL TRANSPARENCY

KNOW YOUR LOT

Every number — and every note — behind this coffee, published. Tap a metric to see what it means and why it matters.

Origins

Where this coffee comes from

Known as the birthplace of coffee, Ethiopia has one of the world’s richest and most diverse coffee-growing traditions. Its coffees are celebrated globally for their distinctive and complex flavour profiles.

Region

Where within the origin it was grown

Yirgacheffe is one of Ethiopia’s most renowned coffee-growing regions, celebrated for its distinctive and highly expressive coffees. Its unique growing environment has made the region a benchmark for Ethiopian specialty coffee.

Producer

Who grew or produced this coffee

This coffee is produced by multiple smallholder farmers, with each contributing small lots that come together to form the final coffee. This model reflects the collaborative nature of many coffee-growing communities.

Variety

The coffee variety grown / What this blend is made from

A mix of varieties developed by Ethiopia’s JARC research program and traditional landrace varieties that have evolved naturally over generations, reflecting the remarkable genetic diversity of Ethiopian coffee.

Altitude

How high this coffee was grown

Grown at 2,100 metres above sea level, the cooler conditions at this elevation slow coffee cherry development, allowing more time for complexity and character to develop in the cup.

Process

How the coffee was processed after harvest

In natural processing, coffee cherries are dried whole with the fruit still surrounding the seed. This extended contact with the fruit often produces sweeter, fruit-forward flavours and a fuller, more expressive cup.

Roast Level

How far we developed the roast

A light-medium roast balances the coffee’s natural character with added sweetness and body from roasting. It preserves much of the coffee’s origin-driven complexity while creating a more rounded and approachable cup.

Preferred Extraction

How we think this coffee shines best

This coffee is best enjoyed as a filter brew, allowing its flavours, aroma, and complexity to unfold with greater clarity in the cup. Methods such as V60, Chemex, or other pour-over brewers are ideal for highlighting its character.

Behind the Coffee

THE LIVELY SIDE OF YIRGACHEFFE

Ethiopia is widely considered the birthplace of the coffee plant. The diverse terroir, high-elevation coffee farms & red volcanic soil are the some of the reasons why it is loved and appreciated by many. As the specialty coffee industry started to grow, the desirablity for complex fruity profiles increased as well. Ethiopian coffee became one of the clearest expressions of terroir in specialty coffee. Ever since then, they have been prized and sought after in every market, especially in the UAE.

The Aricha village, in the Yirgacheffe Zone did not need us as much as we needed them. We’ve consistently had great coffees from Yirgacheffe, however this one we sourced was exceptional. The strangest thing is that we were actually looking for a washed coffee for our lineup. Our coordinator in Ethiopia sent us both washed and natural, but the natural outperformed the washed. It was lively, bright, juicy, and ticked all our boxes.

This coffee is naturally processed in which the coffee cherries are picked and left to dry in the sun. This reuslts in more fruit-forward development and heavier bodies in the cup. It's a classic in the UAE and we intend to keep it in stock year-round.
