Ethiopia Yirgacheffe Konga Natural

Konga is one of the famous and highly regarded mills in Yirgacheffe, and this coffee offering comes from small farmers organized around the mill. This is a Grade 1 Natural Ethiopia, which is impeccably sorted. There are a blend of varietals in this lot, and approximately 600 farmers contributed to this under Fair Trade and Organic certifications.

Because this is a natural (dry) process coffee, we are roasting it lightly — just a few degrees past the 1st cracks. Natural Ethiopia beans as a rule are tricky to roast and get just right, but this one is more forgiving than most. We’ve tried a few different roasting curves and not found much difference in the end result. This should make it particularly attractive to home roasters.

It is particularly nice brewed through a normal coffee drip brewer with a filter. It still comes out with sweetness and fruit. An extremely approachable coffee for the everyday coffee drinker.
