Ethiopia Yirgacheffe

Description

As with many Ethiopian coffees, this one comes from a cooperative.  There are many tiny farms  in Ethiopia but few of them are large enough to be considered estates.  This coffee comes from the Agaro dry milling station and is a collection of smallholder farmers.  Their coffees are handpicked at peak ripeness, machine pulped, then they undergo an anaerobic fermentation process before final washing.  The coffee is then sun-dried on raised drying beds for just over a week, depending on humidity and sun.  The results are tropical fruit and berry notes.  Bright in flavor with tea-like body.
