Ethiopian coffee is renowned for its diverse range of flavors, and the Yirgacheffe region stands out for its delicate, floral, and tea-like beans.

But what about the unsung heroes, the natural processed Ethiopian Yirgs? Until recently, they took a back seat, deemed common and of variable quality. However, times are changing, and The Wise Brew Coffee Co. is proud to bring the spotlight to these natural process gems.

Ethiopia's coffee history is intertwined with natural processing, where beans are sun-dried, capturing a plethora of fruit flavors. This traditional method has been the norm for centuries, creating coffees with punchy sweetness and wine-like acidity. The drying process, though crucial, can be tricky, leading to a reputation for variance. However, The Wise Brew Coffee Co. ensures meticulous sourcing and quality control to present you with the finest natural processed Ethiopian Yirgacheffe beans.

In the 1970s, wet processing was introduced in Yirgacheffe, marking the birth of washed Yirgacheffe coffees. This method stripped the beans of traditional fruity flavors, resulting in a cleaner cup with citrus and floral notes. The washed process gained popularity, while natural Yirgs remained relatively unknown.

In recent years, the coffee industry has witnessed a transformation. Technology and education previously applied to wet processing mills have extended to natural processing, ensuring consistently high-quality beans. With fair trade and direct partnerships gaining momentum, Ethiopia continues to showcase its beans on the global stage.
