ethiopia coffee
by gold star coffee · woodbridge, canada
this is ethiopian yirgacheffe micro-lot fair trade / organic certified green unroasted beans, an ethiopia from gold star coffee.
no specific tasting notes have been provided for this lot, so the final cup flavour will depend on how you roast the beans at home. yirgacheffe as a region generally produces coffees with bright acidity and floral or tea-like qualities, but these characteristics will vary based on your roast level and technique.
these beans are grown in the yirgacheffe region of ethiopia and are certified both organic and fair trade, confirming standards around farming practices and producer pricing. they are sourced as a micro-lot, meaning they come from a small, defined batch rather than a large commercial blend.
because these are green unroasted beans, your first step is to roast them yourself before brewing. once roasted, brew method will depend on your chosen roast level, though a lighter roast from a yirgacheffe origin often works well with filter methods such as pour-over that highlight acidity and clarity.
