Ethiopian Yirgacheffe Kochere - Roasted Coffee

Ethiopian Yirgacheffe - Roasted Coffee

Floral · Lemon · Balanced

Bright, clean, and unmistakably Ethiopian — our Yirgacheffe Kochere is a medium roast that delivers a floral, lemon-forward cup with a smooth, well-rounded finish. Less acidic than most African coffees, it's approachable enough for everyday drinking yet complex enough to satisfy the most discerning palate.

Why coffee lovers can't get enough of Kochere

The Kochere woreda (district) sits just south of the legendary Yirgacheffe town in Ethiopia's SNNPR (Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples Region) — about 250 miles southwest of Addis Ababa. At soaring altitudes, in acidic, mineral-rich soil, coffee doesn't just grow here. It thrives.

Local farmers bring their harvested cherries to communal washing stations, a time-honored process that's central to Kochere's reputation for producing some of the finest Ethiopian coffee beans in the world. That careful, community-driven processing is exactly what you taste in every cup.
