Birhanu Haile: Ethiopia Yirgacheffe Aricha

With tasting notes of peach, papaya and a lingering mango sweetness, this natural Heirloom/Kurume varietal was produced by Birhanu Haile Chele in the highlands of the Gedeo Zone in Yirgacheffe Aricha.

☕ Cup score: 87.50

We’ve always had a fascination with Yirgacheffe coffee. So when we learned that Birhanu was born in Yirgacheffe and now operates his own farm in Yirgacheffe, we were intrigued. He's 32 years of age and works on the farm along with his wife and 8 children.

He's well known for being extremely hands on at the farm, especially during the harvest season. Cherries are picked and dried in a highly consistent manner due to Birhanu’s daily presence on the farm. Cherries are dried for 15-17 days on raised beds, before hulling of the dried skins.

Birhanu's attention to detail throughout the process results in a cup that is fruit forward, clean and sweet.

The artwork on the coffee bag was created by Imtiyaz Rajwani (@i.a.rajwani and @imz_83), an artist based in Toronto, Canada.
