Additional Information
This coffee from Ethiopia is a real treat. Produced by small holder farms in the Gedio Zone of the Yirgacheffe District, near the small town of Idido, this coffee is grown high in the remote hills at over 5,500 feet. The high elevation gives this coffee plenty of time to mature slowly and develop a flavor profile that is unique and special.

The coffee is dry processed (unusual for a Yirgacheffe) using the full natural method. Coffee cherries are delivered to the Bagersh’s proprietary dry mill in Idido, and then sun-dried on thin layered elevated beds. Once drying is complete, the beans are hulled, screened, hand sorted, double picked and polished to a uniform appearance which is striking for an Ethiopian coffee.

Dry Process refers to the process that involves harvesting and drying the beans while still in cherry. Dry-processed coffees often have less acidity and heavier body than their washed counterparts.
