Yirgacheffe notes from the roaster!
Good Morning, Vivace Babes
This Sunday’s single origin hails from the birthplace of all coffee; Ethiopia. Specifically, your palate will get to visit the Yirgacheffe growing region in Ethiopia. This specific crop is unique to us because we know exactly what two varietals are found in your shot.
On 8/16 you’ll get to sample a blend of Dega and Kurume coffee seeds all grown on smallholder farms in Yirgacheffe before being sold by the farmers to the exporters. Both of these varietals are grown exclusively between 1900-2300 meters above sea level making them particularly dense and packed with natural sugars. They will feature a punchy acidity and fruit forward finish.
Dega is often described as “bright”, presenting lime or orange zest flavors and sweet stone fruit aromatics. Kurume is not far away from these descriptions, often being named to have stone fruit and honey-like sweetness on the palate with tea-like aromatics such as bergamot and jasmine. A match made in heaven if you ask this roaster.
I recommend trying this smooth medium bodied coffee as a straight shot or, if you’re feeling daring, give it a try in one of Vivace’s coffee sodas. With the carbonation and those honey-sweet citrus notes you might be visited by the vision of having a refreshing not-to-sweet soda on a hot summer day. (Finish your soda with a lemon zest if you’re feeling cheeky.)
Cheers nerds!
