Yirgacheffe is part of the Sidamo region located in southern Ethiopia, where coffee beans thrive. The warm and tropical climate allows the coffee plants to grow naturally, thanks to high elevations, thick vegetation and healthy soil. And better yet, Ethiopian coffee farming history and traditions are free of pesticides—making it a great choice if you’re looking for a sustainable, organic coffee.

The high altitudes of this mountainous region do come with some challenges. Grown at altitudes of 2,000 meters above sea level, the coffee plants take longer to mature their beans. That means the trees must work harder to bear fruit in these conditions. However, the more time they spend maturing, the more time they have to absorb flavors. The end result? A fuller, well-balanced coffee graced with floral and fruity notes.
