Ethiopian Yirgacheffe

Famous for its delicate aroma and citrusy taste, the Ethiopian Yirgacheffe is among the most prized coffee beans in the world. It's also a good source of antioxidants. It's best brewed with no sugar and milk in order to preserve its distinctive flavor. It is great with food items that are savory to balance the sweet-salty. It's a great snack to wake you up.

Ethiopia is often thought to be the place where coffee was first developed. According to legend, a goat herder named Kaldi noticed that his flock was more energetic after eating the red berries that were growing in a nearby plant home. He tried the berries himself and realized they have a powerful effect on the energy levels of his body. The herder then spread the berry with his family members and this is the beginning of coffee's popularity.

In the Yirgacheffe region of Sidamo, Ethiopia, coffee is typically "washed" or wet processed. This helps to eliminate bitter taste and to create a bright, clean taste. In the mid-2000s global coffee prices soared to levels that were unsustainable for many farmers around the world, including Ethiopia. However the Yirgacheffe Coffee Farmers Cooperative Union (YCFCU) was successful in helping the farmers to remain in business by implementing their fair trade programs and their ability to bargain with the market. This helped usher in a wave of fruit-flavored single-origin Ethiopian coffees that are referred to as the "new naturals." Today, the world is once again savoring the unique citrusy, floral, and floral taste of the Yirgacheffe bean.

Geisha

Geisha is among the most expensive coffee beans available. It has a delicate tea-like flavor, with hints mango, peach, and raspberry. It also has a soft taste similar to black tea. But does the price tag really justify it?

The Geisha variety was first discovered in the highland region of Gesha (it was misspelled in the process) in Western Ethiopia in the 1930s by a British consul. The seeds were then transferred to CATIE, Costa Rica, before being shipped to Panama by Francisco Serracin (also known as Don Pachi). The Peterson family tried it at their Hacienda Esmeralda Farm and found that it was able to produce flavors with balance and elegance.

Geisha is more than just a great cup of coffee. It has a significant impact on the communities that produce it. It allows farmers to invest profits into improving farming practices and quality processes. This leads to a better quality of all coffee varieties they cultivate.

Many coffee drinkers are uninterested in trying it due to its pricey price. It's a shame, since Geisha coffee is well worth the price. Do yourself a favor, and get some.

Monsooned Malabar

Monsooned Malabar is one of the world's most famous and distinctive coffees, is a rich and chocolatey coffee with a woody, nutty flavor and virtually no acidity. Its name comes from the "monsooning" process as well as the region where it originates the most arid region of India the mountainous area of Malabar which encompasses Karnataka and Kerala.

The story of this coffee is a bit apocryphal, but during the period of the British Raj, when large wooden ships carried raw coffee to Europe, the cargo was often delayed due to monsoon weather conditions. While it was at sea, the humidity and the wind on board caused the beans to weather naturally, turning a pale off-white color. When they arrived in Europe the beans were found to have a distinct, highly desirable flavor taste.
