From the Gedeo Zone — the forest region many believe gave the world coffee — comes this fully washed heirloom lot. We roast it as light as we dare without grassiness, coaxing out the florals that make Yirgacheffe the reference point for every other washed coffee.
Best without milk, best on slow mornings, and best brewed as a pour-over at 1:16. If you drink one coffee black this year, make it this one.
