Viva La Medicina - Yirgacheffe

Introducing our limited release project, Viva La Medicina. Where we bring you small batch drops of the rare, super coveted and exceptionally tasty coffees that you might end up hiding in the cupboard when your friends come over because you don’t want to share it.

THE SLOW DRY GEDEB

Our first Viva coffee is this absolutely stonking Yirgacheffe. As I’m sure you probably already know, this is an Ethiopian coffee growing region that’s famed for turning out some of the most highly prized coffees in the world.

This one comes from a place called Gedeb, which is known for its high calibre coffees, and has been slow dried during a natural process. This extra time has allowed the coffee to develop incredibly depth and complexity. It’s got that classic peachy, stone fruit quality you’d expect from a Yirgacheffe, complete with lofty floral notes, but that slow dry natural process has given it the added depth and intensity to slip this one into the major leagues.

What makes it even more special, is that you don’t often see this kind of processing given to Yirgacheffes – making it quite a rare one.

Bottom line – this is the kind of coffee you want to keep to yourself, or gift to someone special. And it’s the perfect time of year for that kind of stuff.
