Kalevala Ethiopia Yirgacheffe

Variety: Heirloom

Altitude: 2150 m

Yirgacheffe is part of the Sidamo region located in southern Ethiopia, where coffee beans thrive. The warm, tropical climate allows coffee plants to grow naturally, thanks to the high altitudes, dense vegetation, and healthy soil. Even better, the history and traditions of coffee culture in Ethiopia are pesticide-free, making it an excellent choice if you are looking for a sustainable, organic coffee product.

The high altitudes of this mountainous region come with some challenges. Grown at altitudes of 2,000 meters above sea level, the coffee cherries reach maturity much later. This means that the trees have to work harder to bear fruit in these conditions. However, the more time they spend maturing, the more time they have to absorb flavors. The final result? A fuller, well-balanced coffee, adorned with floral and fruity notes.
