How it sits among coffee from Ethiopia

How often roasters use each flavour family to describe coffee from Ethiopia: 539 of 857 carry notes. The dashed outline is the whole catalogue. These are the roasters’ own words, grouped — not our tasting, and not a measurement.

Coffee World describe this coffee as fruity, caramel and sweet, citrus, floral. The filled shape is how often roasters use each family across coffee from Ethiopia; the rings on the rim are this coffee’s own.

Every family the roaster names is a common one for coffee from Ethiopia, so this reads as a typical example rather than an outlier.

What the roaster says about where it came from

Region

Yirgacheffe

Process

washed, natural

Variety

Heirloom

Not stated

farm or estate, producer, altitude, harvest, lot, importer, price paid to the producer

We report what the roaster publishes and we have not checked any of it independently. A fact nobody publishes is not a fault of the coffee: almost no roaster in the UK states an importer or the price paid to the producer.

Where each fact came from

Organic certification

“Grown across 15 hectares of volcanic soil and nurtured with organic fertilizers like animal manure and composted plant matter, Mengesha’s coffee is a true family effort, cultivated alongside four of his children.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Variety

“In the cup, this heirloom varietal blend is as clean and elegant as some of the best washed coffees we’ve tasted, with crystal-clear notes of jasmine, lemon candy, and ripe apricot.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Direct trade

“By establishing direct trade relationships with cooperatives — bypassing the ECX — he helped export some of the first single-farmer coffees from Ethiopia.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Flavour families

Country of origin

Region

“Back in 2012, at the heart of Gedeo in Yirgacheffe, all coffee trade passed through the Ethiopian Commodity Exchange (ECX) or established cooperatives.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

A further 1 fact on this page was read from part of the shop page that holds no sentence — a menu or a product grid — so there is nothing to quote for it.

Taken from the roaster’s own pages, and nothing here has been verified by us or by an independent body. What we store is a passage of page text cut around the fact, so one shown with an ellipsis is a passage we cannot see the start or the end of; only the fully quoted ones are complete sentences.
