Arrosto Ethiopia Yirgacheffe Single Origin Whole Bean Coffee 2 lb. - 5/Pieces WS-110ARETHPIA
Legend has it that more than a thousand years ago, an Ethiopian goatherd was tending to his flock when he noticed that a few of his goats become unusually frisky after eating some mysterious cherries. He examined the cherries and found a tiny bean inside that produced a marvelous smell when roasted over the fire - and so coffee was discovered! While we don't know if there's any truth to this legend, we do know that Ethiopia is the birthplace of the coffee tree and Ethiopian farmers have been perfecting the art of growing and harvesting coffee beans for centuries. You can taste this tradition for yourself in every cup of Arrosto Ethiopia Yirgacheffe single origin whole bean coffee!
This coffee is grown in the Yirgacheffe region, near Ethiopia's border with Kenya. Coffee trees are native to this region, and this is the only place in the world where they grow naturally! The farmers who care for these coffee trees use natural fertilizer and pest control techniques to create coffee that's as natural as it gets. After this coffee is hand-harvested, it's washed to remove the cherry surrounding the bean, dried in the warm, equatorial sunshine, and finally roasted to a medium cinnamon color to bring out its brightness. The result is a coffee with floral tasting notes, a rich, full-bodied toffee sweetness, and a distinctive bergamot finish. The smooth, balanced body of this coffee makes it a great choice for your daily morning cup and special occasions alike!
Medium Roast:These coffee beans are roasted to medium to highlight their brightness and full-bodied flavor.
Whole Bean Format:This coffee's whole bean format offers you flexible preparation options, allowing you to brew the perfect cup for any occasion.
This medium roast coffee is ideal for pour-over or French press brewing methods. For a perfect pour-over, grind the beans to a medium-fine consistency, then simply pour water 30 seconds off a boil (205 degrees Fahrenheit) over them. You can prepare this coffee in commercial brewers to create large batches to keep on hand for the morning rush, or offer it in an individual pour-over coffee maker for an individualized artisan coffee experience that will please even the most discerning coffee lovers. Using a French press to brew this coffee is a wonderful way to extract the roasted toffee notes created by the long, slow roasting process! Grind the beans coarsely and pour just enough water 30 seconds off a boil (205 degrees Fahrenheit) over them to saturate all the grounds. Allow this slurry to bloom for 30 to 40 seconds before filling your French press all the way up and allowing it to steep for 3 to 4 minutes before plunging the grounds down. No matter how you choose to prepare it, serving this Arrosto Ethiopia Yirgacheffe coffee in your establishment is a testament to your discerning taste that will keep your patrons coming back for more!
