Yirgacheffe coffees are so distinct and so well recognised internationally that they are grouped into their own special category.
Yirgacheffe is a small micro-region within the much larger region of Sidamo, Ethiopia. Yirgacheffe is a small town of about 20’000 people, located somewhat centrally in relation to the other coffee growing areas of Sidamo, between the large towns of Dilla and Agere Maryam.
