Yirgacheffe Worka Hurea · Filter

A beautifully expressive filter roast from one of Ethiopia’s most iconic coffee regions. Yirgacheffe’s high elevations and slow cherry maturation create exceptional sweetness, refined acidity and layered complexity — all showcased in this standout anaerobic natural lot from Worka Hurea.

Crafted for V60, Kalita, batch brew and Aeropress, this filter profile highlights floral aromatics, bright fruit and a clean, structured finish.

A vibrant and aromatic filter cup with lifted florals, sweet berry depth and a smooth cocoa backbone.

This lot comes from the Lalesa Coffee Drying Station in the Gedeb district, working with 115 smallholder growers from the villages of Hurea, Haloberiti and Udeyi. Farmers cultivate mixed heirloom varietals on small plots alongside food crops, selecting only high‑quality cherries for processing.
