MENGECHE ESTATE - YIRGACHEFFE - MICROLOT - SINGLE ORIGIN

---------------

Widely acknowledged as the birthplace of coffee, Ethiopian coffees are highly respected in the specialty coffee industry.

Ethiopian coffees are classified by region, altitude, and cupping score, rather than by variety. At Painted Blue we are excited to offer this delicious Yirgacheffe.

Mr. Mengeche Derso owns and operates 15 hectares of land in the highlands of Gedeo Zone, located in the Southern Region of Ethiopia. This region, and Gedeo Zone in particular, is renowned for its production of high-quality Yirgacheffe coffee. At 62 years old, Mr. Mengeche brings 62 years of farming experience to the area. His dedication to producing top-quality coffee has earned him recognition from government organizations.

Mr. Mengeche has 12 children. Along with four of his children, he actively works on the coffee farm. They use natural fertilizers such as animal manure and plant remnants to enrich the soil. His farm, situated at 2300 MASL, is one of the many in the area known for producing premium coffee

We love the complex, almost tropical quality of this coffee from the single farm of Mengeche Derso based in the region of Gedeo, Yirgacheffe. This Microlot is a Natural processed coffee that has tasting notes of Jammy nectarine and cooked pineapple with mellow toffee and chocolate flavours. It has juicy acidity and a delicate fruit-like sweetness. Enjoy!
