Yirg refers to Yirgacheffe and Z indicates the minimal to zero defects present in the coffee. Keffa employs a method of triple sorting by size, color, and then density. This additional sorting not only benefits the end cup result but also the producers staff, as they are paid more for the intense sorting process.
“Keffa Coffee's journey began in the 1990s when Ethiopian-born founder Sam recognized an opportunity to share his homeland's extraordinary coffee heritage with the world. Growing up in Ethiopia—the birthplace of coffee—Sam witnessed firsthand the generational knowledge, traditional cultivation methods, and unwavering dedication of the hard-working coffee farmers behind the beans who produce some of the world's most exceptional coffee. This deep cultural connection and intimate understanding of Ethiopian coffee evolved into broader industry expertise, leading to the establishment of Keffa Coffee in 2006 with a clear mission: to authentically bridge exceptional producers with quality-obsessed roasters.”
While coffees from Ethiopia are typically naturally processed, this washed process gives us a better look into the flavors present from the terroir of the area. Ethiopia’s terroir is influenced by high altitudes, volcanic soil, climate—dense forests providing shade and distinct wet & dry seasons, and microclimates—temperature, rainfall, and humidity. The Yirgacheffe area tends to develop coffee with delicate acidity, floral aromas, and citrus notes.
All Boomtown Coffee® is 100% natural, free of artificial flavors or additives. All of our tasting notes are a result of a standard SCA cupping. Flavors found in home-brewed coffee are subject to individual taste and brew method.
