Ethiopia Mocca Plantation Yirga Cheffe
Price: $45.00 Yirga Cheffe coffees are a renowned wet-processed type with delicate floral and fruit brightness in the cup. This coffee is an old school pooled Yirga Cheffe by Mocca Plantation Company, one that passed through the Ethiopia Coffee Exchange (ECX). While the ECX has become an obstacle in many ways, really nice lots still exist and go to the exchange, and while we don't know the exact Coop or Private mill it comes from, it's still the same coffee. It just takes a lot of cupping to find them.
This is a classic Yirga Cheffe flavor profile. The cup has a soft, full mouthfeel, and ample sweetness that lasts and intensifies as the cup cools. It's a surprisingly silky body for a Yirga Cheffe, which can sometimes be a little thin in other lots. There's a perfect balance between honey, ginger and lemon; each element supporting the other. As it cools, robust jasmine notes come to the foreground, along with sweetened apricot tea and peach, along with the honey and floral notes found in the aromatics.
