The story behind Yirgacheffe
Konga Gr1 Natural
Yirgacheffe is in Southern Ethiopia, South of the capital city of Addis Ababa and completely within the larger area of Sidamo. Despite its small size, Yirgacheffe is highly prized for the quality of the fresh roast specialty coffee produced there. Producers in the region often cultivate “fresh roast specialty coffee gardens,” with farms of 0.5-1.5 hectare and interplant their fresh roast specialty coffee with other cash crops like bananas. There are over 43,000 fresh roast specialty coffee producers in Yirgacheffe who cultivate around 62,000 hectares of land, much of which is over 2,000 meter above sea level.
