Notes from the curator

The Yirgacheffe region in Ethiopia is considered to be the birthplace of coffee. Arabica coffee plants possibly spread from this region as early as the 6th century into Yemen. As coffee gained popularity in the 16th century, the plants were transported around the world. From indigenous heirloom arabica plants, this coffee is grown at 1700 - 2200 meters and wash processed. It produces a wonderful medium bodied, bright coffee with citrus notes and a crisp finish.
