Yirgacheffe Garden — Where Coffee Was Born

There's a reason every coffee conversation eventually leads back to Yirgacheffe.

This is the region that gave coffee to the world — and after a thousand years, it still produces cups that no other origin can match for sheer elegance. Yirgacheffe Garden is grown at 1,910–1,960 metres in the Gedeo Zone, where smallholder farmers tend heirloom varietals under shade trees on plots passed down through generations. The volcanic soil is so rich, the trees rarely need fertilizer. The annual rainfall of 1,515mm creates ideal growing conditions that develop the region's signature floral complexity.

Each cherry is handpicked at peak ripeness and fully washed in mountain spring water — a process that strips away everything except the bean's purest character. What remains is a cup of extraordinary clarity.

The first sip opens with delicate florals — jasmine and bergamot dancing across your palate. Then a wave of bright citrus — lemon and orange — followed by the gentle sweetness of ripe berries. The body is light and tea-like, the acidity bright and sparkling, and the finish is clean, sweet, and impossibly long.

This is the coffee that made Ethiopia famous. And it's the coffee that will redefine what your morning cup can be.

Scoring SCA 84, Yirgacheffe Garden is part of our Specialty Collection — sourced from one of the most revered origins in the world.

The Farms Behind Your Cup

Yirgacheffe Garden is sourced from smallholder farms in Ethiopia's Gedeo Zone — the birthplace of coffee and one of the most revered specialty origins in the world. These are family-owned plots of 1–3 hectares, passed down through generations, where heirloom varietals grow under native shade trees in volcanic soil so naturally fertile that chemical fertilizers are rarely needed.

At 1,960 metres elevation, with annual rainfall of 1,515mm, the Gedeo Zone creates ideal conditions for slow cherry maturation — developing the complex floral and citrus character that has made Yirgacheffe the global benchmark for washed Ethiopian coffee.

Each cherry is handpicked at peak ripeness and fully washed in mountain spring water — pulped, fermented, and rinsed to remove all fruit material. This meticulous process strips away everything except the bean's purest expression of terroir. The result is a cup of extraordinary clarity — clean, transparent, and unmistakably Yirgacheffe.

The Yirgacheffe Legacy

A thousand years ago, in the highlands of southern Ethiopia, wild coffee trees grew in the shade of ancient forests. Local farmers discovered them, cultivated them, and built a tradition that would eventually give the world its most beloved beverage.

Yirgacheffe is not just an origin — it's the origin. The genetic diversity of its heirloom varietals is unmatched anywhere on earth. No two farms produce identical cups. Every harvest carries the fingerprint of its specific microclimate, soil composition, and the farmer's craft.

When specialty coffee professionals want to define what a "clean, floral, fruit-forward" cup tastes like, they reach for Yirgacheffe. It is the benchmark. And Yirgacheffe Garden brings that benchmark to your kitchen.

Delicate florals, bright citrus, ripe berries, and a clean, sweet finish that lingers long after the cup is empty. This is the coffee that defines specialty grade — and it's now part of your morning.
