Yirgacheffe is a small town with an altitude of 700-21,000 meters. It is synonymous with Ethiopian specialty coffee. This place has been a wetland since ancient times. The ancient saying "Yirga" means "settling down" and "Cheffe" means "wetland". The production methods and flavor of the coffee here are so outstanding that Ethiopian coffee farmers are proud of their Yirgacheffe flavor, and it has become the most famous coffee-producing area in Africa. The coffee trees in Yirgacheffe were planted by European monasteries, and were later taken over by farmers or cooperatives. Yirgacheffe is actually constructed from the surrounding coffee communities or cooperatives, including Hafosha, Hama, and Biloya.
These small mountain villages are filled with mist and feel like spring all year round. The breeze is gentle in summer, cool but not hot, the rain is not damp, and the winter is not cold, giving birth to the unique citrus and floral regional flavor of Front Street Yejiacheffe. Most of the coffee trees are planted in farmers' own backyards or mixed with other crops in the farmland. Sun-dried Yirgacheffe is not common in the Harar production area with traditional sun-dried processing. As the first washing and processing plant in Ethiopia is located in the Yirgacheffe production area, coffee drinkers are more familiar with the Front Street washed Yirgacheffe, which is famous for its elegant lemon and citrus flavor.

Yirgacheffe itself is a small town with a population of about 20,000. The three neighboring small production areas of Wenago, Kochere and Gelena Abaya are also classified into the Yirgacheffe area because the flavor of the coffee they produce is almost the same as that of Yirgacheffe. Yirgacheffe is similar to neighboring Sidamo in terms of culture and geographical environment, but Yirgacheffe seems to be more favored and enjoys unique conditions. The top-quality Front Street Yirgacheffe coffee has floral aroma, bright citrus acidity, lemon flavor, and silky smooth taste.
