Yirgacheffe is a very high-quality Arabica coffee with a unique and bright fruity sweetness. You can immediately feel the fresh and transparent aroma of white flowers as soon as you take your mouth. Everyone who has tasted it has been deeply impressed.
In terms of grading green coffee beans, Ethiopia mainly uses the defect rate of the beans, combined with cupping and bean appearance. The smaller the number, the higher the grade. Therefore, Front Street Sun-Dried Red Cherry G1 and Front Street Washed Ding Ding G1 both belong to the highest grade, and Front Street Washed Yirgacheffe G2 ranks second.

Sun exposure
Solar processing is the oldest and most primitive processing method for coffee beans. This sun-dried red cherry is made by placing the coffee cherries with the whole coffee pulp and peel intact in an elevated shed for sun-drying treatment, isolating contact with the ground and preventing the earthy smell caused by direct exposure. After more than two weeks of sun-drying, the dark brown cherries are dried. The coffee cherries are stored and wait for the entire flavor to mature. Before shipment, the processing plant takes the coffee beans out of the coffee cherries. This sun-drying method makes the beans less acidic, sweeter, and full-bodied, but the cleanliness is not as high as the washed process.

Country: Ethiopia
Place of Origin: Yirgacheffe Fruit Tintin Cooperative
Altitude: 2000-2100 meters
Variety: Local native species
Processing method: washed
Flavor: Jasmine citrus berry honey tea feel
Reason for recommendation: You can drink high-grade Yirgacheffe flavor. Washing makes the coffee flavor brighter and the aftertaste more obvious. It is very suitable for hand brewing, cold brewing and hanging.
Wash with water
In order to improve the defective flavor caused by rough sun-drying, Ethiopia introduced water-washing technology from Central and South America. Members of the cooperative will select, clean, ferment, and remove the pectin from the purchased coffee cherries before placing them on raised beds to dry. Every step must be handled properly to ensure the quality of the final coffee.
The washing process allows Yirgacheffe coffee to change its previous uneven layers. After roasting, the flavor presents a fresh citrus tone and an elegant white floral aroma. The overall flavor is bright and delicate. As a result, Yirgacheffe became independent from the Sidamo production area and became a well-known production area in the coffee circle today.
