New Release- ETHIOPIA- LION-EL RICHY

The Yirgacheffe Edido G.1 Natural is not sourced from a single estate. Rather, it is produced by cooperatives of smallholder farmers in the Edido kebele (village), who collectively bring their harvested cherries to a handful of washing stations in the neighboring Aricha kebele. Both villages fall within the Bunna Woreda (coffee district) of Yirgacheffe, in Ethiopia’s Gedeo Zone.

For the majority of these smallholder farmers, the natural process is the preferred method of production. This approach reflects both cultural tradition—as natural processing is the oldest method of preparing coffee in the world—and practical considerations, including simplicity of infrastructure and accessibility for small farms. The cherries are carefully dried on raised beds under the sun, with frequent turning to ensure even drying and preservation of the beans’ intrinsic flavors. This meticulous attention at the producer level contributes to the coffee’s distinctive floral and fruity profile, characteristic of Yirgacheffe naturals.

We believe the best cup of coffee is the one you enjoy most. Everyone has their preferences - what’s delicious to one person might be just “meh” to another.

Based on what we love, we enjoy brewing these beans as Pour-Over & AeroPress. But we always recommend trying them with different methods to find what tastes best to you.
