This is a delicious classic natural coffee from eastern Yirgacheffe. Foge is a washing station, but they also have a newly planted farm in the area. It is organic production, and in fact this coffee m,akes up half of our Organic Happy Daze blend as well! This coffee is traditionally produced and sun-dried on raised beds. They have lately transformed their production to further pursue specialty coffee.

The farmers are a producer family living in Yirgacheffe town, and have six washing stations in Yirgacheffe and Guji. The family's export business was founded by their father, and the siblings Tsedenia and Fikadu both grew up in Yirgacheffe, immersed in coffee their entire lives.

This second generation has a new vision and is exploring ways to improve the business and the livelihoods of the farmers it serves. This particular coffee is dark, dense and rich, showing floral notes, along with blackcurrant and dried stonefruit, leading to creamy creme brulee and nut butter. Dark & intense as a black coffee, there is lots of punch to cut through milk here as well. Fantastic as a filter or espresso. Amazing!
