The beans from Yirgacheffe, Ethiopia are widely recognized to produce one of the world's most exquisite coffees. We know you'll instantly fall in love with its flowery, tangerine citrus and toffee notes. Its rich flavours have been compared to that of a fruit-forward burgundy wine. The rushing whirlpool of fragrance and flavour set this roast apart from any other bean you will encounter.
Taste The Difference: Each bag contains 400g (~1lb) of freshly roasted fair-trade organic beans that are crafted to order.
Roast Recommendation: Medium Light to Medium Dark
