Has anyone ever tried Ethiopian Yirgacheffe? I was thinking about ordering several pounds of it but have never tried it(that I know of). At $15 per pound is it worth it?
Most of people probably have tried Yirgacheffe, which is one of the best valued coffees (very flavorful) in the world. $15 is definitely worth it, but before ordering SEVERAL POUNDS, please make it sure that the coffee is NOT OLD harvested beans and freshly roasted.

Yirgacheffe's are usually super tasty... washed Yirgi's will be cleaner more floral/bright... natural Yirgi's will be sweater and slightly fruity (can vary from non existent to fruit bombs)

I roasted this just past 1st crack. I've shared it with all my friends/family and all have loved the taste and now have a new found love for fresh roasted coffee

A lot of coffee lovers are crazy about Ethiopian coffee, but many regular coffee drinkers don't appreciate them. It's more floral and tea-like. Most regular people just want a coffee that's strong and has low acid, which is the opposite of Yirgacheffe.

Nailed it - Go natural and more pronounced berries/fruit light to medium roast will bring them out where a dark it don't matter

Ethiopia is in the green belt where altitude and climate are best for growing coffee plant, also was where coffee was first found there and still to this day most Ethiopia coffee is from wild plants
