Yirgacheffe is perhaps one of the most iconic coffee-producing regions in the world-known to many as the birthplace of the coffee bean. Coffee from this region is grown at extremely high altitudes in iron-rich, acidic soils that create an optimal growing condition for specialty coffee. This lot comes from somewhat small, family-owned farms in the Gedeo region of Yirgacheffe. Washed Yirgacheffe beans like this variety generally have clean, bright, floral cupping profiles.

This bean variety comes to you from "ASOBAGRI" (The Asociacion Barillense de Agricultores), a non-profit civil association founded in 1986 that has grown from 20 to 1,278 cooperative members. The members of ASOBAGRI hail from roughly 30 small villages in the Huehuetenango region. ASOBAGRI promotes sustainable agriculture by training its farmers in organic production methods - always looking to create viable projects that will generate benefits for the surrounding communities. The beans are shade grown under guava, plantain and banana trees at a high altitude in mostly non-volcanic soil. All of these conditions contribute to producing a truly distinct coffee.
CoopeTarrazú was created on October 13, 1960 beginning with 228 associates and eventually expanding to 4,650 associates. With the help of the National Bank and the Cooperatives Department, the coffee growers were embolden to purchase a processing plant as a cooperative. With its high standards and core values including transparency, honesty, solidarity, continuous improvement, commitment, and customer service, CoopeTarrazú is a great example of quality and sustainable coffee farming.

This top quality Brazilian variety is produced in the Cerrado region - located in the state of Minas Gerais, the largest coffee-producing state in the country. Coffee has been a major crop in this region since the 1980’s. Cultivated at an elevation between 915 to 1219 meters above sea level, Cerrado beans are moderately dense, leaning toward a softer variety than other strictly hard bean varieties (SHB) grown at higher elevations. The Cerrado region is an ideal area for growing coffee due to the rich soil, consistent rains, high daytime temperature, and dryer winters.
