Konga, Yirgacheffe, Ethiopia

Despite its small size, Yirgacheffe, located in southern Ethiopia, is highly prized for the quality of the coffee produced. There are over 43,000 coffee producers in Yirgacheffe who cultivate around 62,000 hectares of land, much of which is over 2,000 meters above sea level. This coffee comes from a three-generation coffee grower in operation for over 54 years (they started before any coffee processing machines were used in the country!) and is processed at the Konga sun-drying station. You’ll enjoy a vibrant and complex cup with lots of lemony acidity, ripe red fruits, black tea and a perfumey candy-like finish.
