Ethiopia is the birthplace of coffee. The regal coffees from this
country are deserving of such a heritage and stand up to the calling.
Referring to Ethiopia as a country of single origin, however, is
misleading. Coffees from the different growing regions vary so
incredibly that they do not even seem to be from the same planet!
Ethiopian
Yergacheffes are amazing and unique coffees. Yergacheffe is a town in
the Sidamo region of Ethiopia, and the coffees from this region will
surprise you with their floral and tangerine notes.
In a stellar Yergacheffe, even the grounds have an exotic tropical
toasted coconut aroma that will knock you over with its charms.
Sometimes Coffee Joe’s will try to compare Yergacheffes to other
coffees, such as a bright Central American or an exciting Kenyan, just
south of the border from Ethiopia, but there truly is not a real
comparison. I guess you can compare a new Beaujolais bursting with wild
fruit to a regal old Cabernet that has been thinking about being a wine
for a decade and call them both reds, but... well you get my point.
