Coffee started in Ethiopia. The first coffee trees were found in Ethiopia approximately 1400 years ago. And, one of the best coffees you can find anywhere is still grown in Ethiopia. Four Beans carries Ethiopian Yirgacheffe at their online store. Available in a dark roast, the coffee exposes great floral and tangerine notes with a coconut aroma and chocolate after taste. It’s a bull bodied coffee with an excellent mouth feel.
Ethiopian Yirgacheffe beans grow at an altitude of about 4000 feet and are all picked by hand. Each tree is visited several times a year and only the ripe cherries are picked from the branches. It’s a very labor-intensive process. Ethiopian Yirgacheffe is a washed coffee bean – after the skin and pulp are removed, the beans are soaked up to 72 hours. Beans treated with the “wet” method usually have higher acidity and a fuller bodied taste than beans processed using the “dry” method.
