Ethiopia Yirgacheffe Konga – Single Origin Filter Coffee

A remarkable expression of single origin filter coffee from Ethiopia’s iconic Gedeo Zone. Grown in the Konga Wete village of Yirgacheffe, this lot represents the collective craft of more than 1,890 smallholder farmers, each cultivating coffee in their own backyard gardens. Collected at the respected Amederaro Konga Washing Station, this release showcases the celebrated JARC varieties 74110, 74112 and 74165, known for their clarity, structure and exceptional cup quality.

Filter Flavour Profile: Lemon Sorbet, Juicy Citrus & Smooth Caramel

Roasted to a clean and expressive Light filter profile, this coffee is a masterclass in brightness and balance:

• Palate: Sparkling Lemon Sorbet and Juicy Citrus
• Sweetness: Smooth Caramel that softens and rounds the acidity
• Texture: Creamy‑smooth yet light and tea‑like
• Character: Clean, complex and beautifully nuanced — a filter coffee that tells the story of its origin with every sip

Perfect for V60, Chemex, batch brew and Aeropress.

Processing: 72‑Hour Washed Fermentation for Pristine Clarity

The Amederaro Konga washing station is recognised by the African Fine Coffees Association’s Taste of Harvest Award, reflecting its commitment to precision and community impact.

• 72‑hour water fermentation to develop signature Yirgacheffe acidity
• 12 hours of tank drying for structure and consistency
• 8–10 days on African drying beds for clean, even drying
• Community investment: The station supports local schools and provides educational materials for children

This meticulous washed process results in a filter coffee with exceptional clarity and a refined, citrus‑forward profile.
