Ethiopia Yirgacheffe - Light Roast Heirloom Varieties, Whole Beans

Here's a classic Yirg! This light roast coffee comes from the Kochere "district" or woreda within Yirgacheffe, and is composed of indigenous heirloom varieties, which is typical for coffees coming from this origin. The cherries are manually picked ripe and depulped the same day. There is usually a fermentation period of 8–12 hours in open-air tanks, then washed in water channels to remove the mucilage. The coffee seeds will be spread on raised beds to dry for 5–15 days, depending on the weather.
