Rako Yirgacheffe

About This Coffee

This coffee is from the highlands of Yirgacheffe in Ethiopia's Gedeo Zone, specifically from the Koche micro-region. It is made from Heirloom Cultivars and processed using the wet process method. The coffee presents a silky, creamy texture with bright citrus fruit and lime zest, complemented by notes of ginger, milk chocolate, hazelnut, and caramel custard. Fresh berry notes emerge in the finish, creating a balanced cup with high floral tones.
