This is a single origin coffee from Yirgacheffe region in Southern Ethiopia. The coffee is processed using the natural method and grown at an altitude of 1,800-2,200 meters. The beans are the traditional heirloom varieties native to Ethiopia. This dark roast coffee has cupping notes of smoky and aromatic characteristics, with distinct notes of smoked earl grey tea and almond shortbread.
