Ethiopia “Halo Beriti” Yirgacheffe

High Quality Green Coffee Beans

Ethiopia “Halo Beriti” Yirgacheffe

As with many Ethiopian coffees, this one comes from a cooperative named Halo Beriti milling station located in the Gedeb region of Yirgacheffee, Ethiopia.  It is a collection of smallholder farmers – typically farmers that own less than 1/2 hectre of land and as small as 1/8th of a hectre.   The coffee is then sun-dried on raised drying beds for just over a week, depending on humidity and sun.  The results are tart fruit and with sugary sweetness and pleasant aftertaste.  Light cocoa and mixed berry flavors.

Cupping Notes: Moderate intensity dry and wet aroma. Mixed berries (blueberry, black berry, raspberry). Clean cup.

Roasting Notes:  Best at City + to City ++. Although these beans are sun-dried, they roast relatively even compared to other coffee from this region. There is a significant amount of chaff, although this is in no way indicative to quality as some people may suggest.  The chaff is merely a product of how the coffee is processed (mostly, anyway as it’s a complicated subject). So make sure to clean out your chaff collector between roasts.
