Ethiopian Yirgacheffe FTO
Ethiopian Yirgacheffe FTO (Fair Trade Organic) coffee is a distinctive and highly celebrated variety originating from the Yirgacheffe region of Ethiopia. Known for its refined, flavourful profile, this coffee is often characterized by its bright acidity and vibrant, floral aroma. It typically features a light to medium body, with a smooth, silky mouthfeel.
The flavour notes of Yirgacheffe FTO are particularly diverse, ranging from citrus and floral tones to more complex hints of berries, tea, and wine. Lemon, jasmine, and honey are commonly identified in its profile, making it a favourite among coffee connoisseurs who appreciate its unique and delicate taste.
Yirgacheffe beans are usually washed, a process that contributes to their clean and crisp taste. This method involves removing the coffee cherry's pulp and washing the beans, which results in a clearer and more pronounced flavour profile.
The Fair Trade Organic certification of these beans ensures that they are grown and harvested following ethical and sustainable practices. This certification supports the local farming communities by ensuring fair compensation and encouraging environmentally friendly farming techniques. The combination of these practices not only enhances the quality of the coffee but also contributes to the preservation of the region's natural resources and the betterment of its people's livelihoods.
