The washed coffees of Yirgacheffe

have long been prized for their delicate, tea-like aromatics and clean citrus flavor. Recently, producers in the Gedio region have been reinventing the natural process originally developed in Ethiopia to offer a completely different profile from this well-known origin. The Misty Valley is a prime example of the fruitiness, complexity, and character of these Natural Yirgacheffe coffees.

Developed by exporter and producer partner Abdullah Bagersh,

the Natural Misty Valley is subject to an incredible amount of care from start to finish. When the ripe cherries are first brought to the mill to dry on raised African beds, they are constantly turned (day and night!) for the first 48 hours of drying to ensure an even evaporation of the moisture from the cherry.

This lends a consistency and cleanliness to the cup, which can prove difficult in a process prone to mold and uneven air circulation.

After the coffee is fully dried

and the skin, mucilage, and parchment removed, it is sorted and traded through the Ethiopian Coffee Exchange as a Grade 1 Yirgacheffe.

In the cup, the Misty Valley truly delivers. A perfumed floral aroma leads into a crisp and complex fruit basket flavor. Milky body provides the backbone for the fruit and aromatics, creating a harmonious balance. The cup finishes with lingering, pleasant mouthfeel.

For you if you like berry flavor notes.

This is for you if you like berry flavor that is naturally a part of the coffee. I have always never paid attention to the Aroma or Natural flavor notes until now.

The roaster was spot on about the berry notes though. Wife said it only took half the sugar she normally uses. So this may be a good coffee for non sugar/cream drinkers.

I personally like the Kenya better.

Roasted Perfection

When you open the bag, the aroma is amazing and when you see these beans you know right away this is a 5 star roast. In an espresso these blueberry notes just pop. I've had this as a pour over, drip and Americano and there is no wrong way to make this coffee. This is now a regular on my brew bar.
