Origin

Ethiopia’s Yirgacheffe region is world-renowned for its vibrant coffee, and the Konga area is a gem within this region. Known for its high altitudes (1,800 to 2,200 meters), Yirgacheffe’s climate is perfect for cultivating top-tier Arabica beans. The fertile volcanic soil, combined with steady rainfall and cool temperatures, contributes to the coffee’s complex and floral characteristics. Konga is a small community of farmers who are dedicated to organic and sustainable agricultural practices, ensuring that the land’s natural resources are preserved. This focus on organic farming results in a clean and flavorful cup, representing the best of Yirgacheffe.

Processing Method

Ethiopia Yirgacheffe Konga Organic Coffee uses a traditional washed processing method. Ripe coffee cherries are carefully handpicked and then de-pulped before undergoing fermentation in water to remove any remaining fruit. This washed method enhances the coffee’s clarity, allowing its bright acidity and floral notes to shine. Once cleaned, the beans are sun-dried on raised beds, which maintain airflow and promote even drying for consistent quality.

Flavor Profile

The flavor profile of Ethiopia Yirgacheffe Konga Organic Coffee is bright and floral, with a distinctive sweetness. Expect a cup with prominent citrus notes, such as lemon and grapefruit, balanced by delicate floral hints of jasmine and a touch of honey-like sweetness. The medium body, crisp acidity, and clean finish make this coffee a delightful choice for those who enjoy a lively and refreshing brew. Similar coffees from the Yirgacheffe region highlight these floral and citrus characteristics, which have made it a favorite among specialty coffee lovers.

Brewing Recommendations

For the best experience, choose brewing methods that highlight this coffee’s clarity and bright acidity. A pour-over using a Chemex or Hario V60 will bring out the delicate floral notes and sweetness. A French press can accentuate the coffee’s body while still maintaining its refreshing character. For a bolder flavor, consider using an Aeropress, which can enhance the citrusy acidity. Use freshly ground beans and filtered water heated to 195–205°F for optimal extraction, adjusting the grind size and brew time to suit your taste.
