Certified organic, shade grown, and Fair Trade. The growers of this coffee are members of the Oromia Coffee Farmers Co-op, a large cooperative with 22,734 farmer members. This coffee also just became certified Fair Trade. Yirgacheffe is a prized variety among many coffee connesiurs for its intense brightness, citrusy floral notes, and delicate chocolate sweetness. Perfect for those who prefer a robust african coffee. This coffee offers a sweet, light-bodied cup with a hints of citrus, a chocolate roast taste, and an aromatic finish. Best for a City to Full City roast, as some of the more delicate aromas and flavors are lost in a darker roast, and a too-light roast will have a sour, acidic note.

Beginning Roaster

I purchased the verity pack and found this to be the best of the group. I also purchased the book, Home Coffee Roasting, and I believe that I was given a free lb. to go along with it and because I had been to Ethiopia as a Navy man I chose this, it is excellent. The flavor tones showed up even with my beginning efforts at roasting.
I used the Whirley Pop method and found it to be an easy and affordable way to enter the world of the home roaster. I found that my technique required some adjustment but the book helped a lot in knowing what to do and how to do it.
My first efforts at roasting took longer than expected (almost 1 hour), but after getting my starting temp. right I was able to get the time down into the 15-20 min range.
