This coffee originates from the Yirgacheffe region in southern Ethiopia, part of the broader Sidama area. The coffee-growing region features volcanic soils with high nutrient-holding capacity for clay minerals. Yirgacheffe has been designated as its own micro-region due to its distinctive coffees, with ideal conditions created by fertile soil and high elevation. This is a washed process coffee.
Coffea Circulor emerged from its founders' work with the United Nations environmental branch in Arendal, after witnessing coffee farmers in Kenya being paid merely $0.70/kg for green coffee. Initially roasting on a lighthouse island named Store Torungen, nowadays the company operates onshore as a multi-award winning producer, roaster, and research lab.
