The Story:
Ethiopia is known as the birthplace of coffee,
where, long ago, a shepherd witnessed his goats acting perky
and giddy after eating the fruit of coffee trees. He tried
the fruit for himself, and coffee was discovered.
Ethiopia is also the only place on earth where
native coffee varieties grow wild. The coffee there is constantly
regenerating into new varieties, and, therefore, it is home
to more genetic diversity in coffee than the rest of the
producing countries combined. There are many coffee sub-species
there that have yet to be classified.
In Yirgacheffe, the coffee trees have spent
many years evolving to become perfectly adapted to their
micro-climate. Coffee grown there is known for it's intense
floral and fruit tones.
This wet processed (fruit skin and pulp is
removed before drying) comes from the Wondo Trading Company
and the Worka cooperative/mill and is vacuum packed at origin
in effort to promote freshness and prolong green storage
time.
