The intensity of work and love for coffee invested by the Gedeb farmers has led to a truly outstanding profile for this coffee, which is sweet with balanced acidity and a clean aftertaste.
The flavour is typical of coffees from this region, underlined by strong notes of bergamot and earlgrey tea.
This makes it perfect for filtering. Most farmers in the region farm less than 5 hectares (many count their coffee farms by trees rather than area).
Cultivation methods remain traditional.
Coffee is grown as part of an integrated ‘coffee garden’ and is cultivated among other food trees and shrubs. In addition to the fact that most coffee is grown in forest gardens, most is also organic by default.
Farmers in Yirgacheffe typically use very little – if any – fertilizers or pesticides. Ethiopia Gedeb Washed coffee beans are perfect for filter brewing.
