What to Expect
This Ethiopian Yirgacheffe from the Sidamo region delivers the classic floral-fruity character Ethiopia is known for, with jasmine and citrus leading the way. Grown at 1800 metres and washed to preserve clarity, it's a clean, bright coffee that balances fruit and chocolate without veering into funky territory.
The Cup
Medium body with a silky, approachable mouthfeel that won't overwhelm. The acidity is good and present — citric and malic, giving the cup a lively, refreshing quality without being sharp. This is a clean coffee, not a wild one. The washed process keeps things transparent, letting the heirloom varieties show their floral and berry character clearly. Expect jasmine aromatics, citrus brightness, and a chocolate sweetness that rounds out the finish.
Who This Is For
If you like bright, aromatic coffees with floral notes and a clean finish, this is a reliable choice. It's approachable enough for daily drinking but interesting enough to pay attention to.
If you prefer heavy-bodied, low-acid coffees with chocolate and nut dominance, this will feel too bright and delicate.
Best for: Filter drinkers who want classic Ethiopian character without the funk.
How to Brew This Coffee
A V60 will give you the cleanest expression of the jasmine and citrus notes, with excellent clarity. Filter methods like a Chemex or drip pot will emphasise the floral aromatics and balanced sweetness. French Press works well if you want to bring out the chocolate and add a bit more body to the cup.

Yirgacheffe is grown high in the Sidamo region of Ethiopia using Heirloom beans, it is a washed coffee.
Our newest batch in tastes better than ever. Quite scented and a little more punchy. This is a really beautiful, coffee with aromas of jasmine and citrus fruit. A sweet, clean cup with fruit and chocolate. A medium bodied coffee with good acidity.
Suits all brew methods but shines in filter/cafetiere. I love this coffee in any form and I think it can be quite amazing as an espresso. I've even got Mr Monsoon onto it but he can't quite handle it with milk yet! The best cold brew you'll ever taste!

Ways to Brew
-
V60
V60 is a popular Japanese, cone-shaped pour-over coffee dripper designed for brewing clean, aromatic, and flavorful coffee. Known for its 60-degree angle, large single hole, and internal spiral ribs, it optimises water flow for a precise, quick, and customisable brewing process, typically 2-3 minutes.
-
Filter
A filter coffee machine (or drip coffee maker) is an often electric kitchen appliance that brews coffee by heating water, passing it through ground coffee and a filter, and dripping the finished brew into a carafe.
-
French Press
A French Press (or Cafetiere) is a simple, manual coffee maker that brews rich, full-bodied coffee by steeping coarse grounds in hot water, then separating them by pressing a mesh filter down with a plunger, allowing the coffee's natural oils and sediment to remain for a bolder flavour.
