Ethiopian Yirgacheffe coffee- shade grown fair trade, organically grown

Description

This distinctive African coffee is grown in the mountains in the Sidamo region of Ethiopia. Ethiopia is the birth place of coffee and produces some of the most complex coffees in the world.

This is a medium bodied coffee with a floral scent and a rich almost wine-like body. It has a distinctive flowery taste and aroma, with a slightly hint of lemon.

Shade grown coffee is grown under trees, helping preserving wildlife habitat and prevent soil erosion. It is organically grown with no chemical pesticides or fertilizers. Fair trade coffee is bought at a fair market price that ensures growers can make a living wage.

One pound. Larger and smaller sizes are available. Convo us to set up a custom listing.

All coffee is roasted fresh the day it is ordered. Please specify with order if you want your coffee ground for autodrip, french press, espresso, or perk. If no grind is specified, coffee will be shipped as unground, whole bean.

Shipping is by UPS so usually takes 1-4 days to arrive depending on what region of the US you are in. (some remote areas may take longer) If you are in the Bethel, CT area you may pick up purchases in person.

REGARDING ORGANIC COFFEES
Please note while we roast organic coffees we are not certified as an organic roaster. What’s that mean? It’s sort of like being certified kosher. To be certified as an organic roaster, we need to roast organic coffee on different equipment than the non-organic coffee. We do them in separate batches and don’t mix them, but they are roasted on the same equipment. It’s cleaned between roasts.
