Discover the Flavour of Ethiopia Yirgacheffe: A Journey to the Birthplace of Coffee
If you’re searching for a coffee that’s vibrant, complex, and rooted in history, then look no further than Ethiopia Yirgacheffe. At Acorns Coffee, we’re proud to roast this exceptional Arabica bean right here in Bordon — delivering a cup that tells a story in every sip.
A Coffee That’s Bright, Clean, and Unforgettable
Our Ethiopia Yirgacheffe coffee leads with a mild acidity and a smooth, medium body. But what really sets this bean apart is its distinctive flavour profile:
- Subtle woody notes give the cup depth
- Bright hints of grape and lime offer a refreshing, citrusy kick
- A delicate touch of coconut brings a sweet, tropical undertone
- Fragrant and clean on the finish — it’s a coffee that keeps you coming back
Whether you prefer filter, cafetière, or espresso, this is a versatile coffee that shines however you brew it.
From the Highlands of Ethiopia to Your Mug
Yirgacheffe isn’t just a name — it’s a place, a legacy, and a symbol of where coffee began. This region in southern Ethiopia is considered one of the most iconic coffee-growing areas in the world, often celebrated as the birthplace of Arabica coffee.
Grown at high altitudes of 1870–1900m above sea level, the beans thrive in rich soil and cool temperatures, with plenty of rainfall — the perfect natural environment for slowly maturing coffee cherries that develop complex, refined flavours.
The varietals used in our Yirgacheffe roast — Dega, Kudhume, and Wolisho — are native to Ethiopia and offer unique traits:
- Fragrance-rich aromas
- Natural disease resistance
- Exceptional cup clarity and floral complexity
Many farmers in the Yirgacheffe region still use traditional, time-honoured farming methods. These practices not only support sustainability but also preserve the distinct characteristics that make this bean so special.
Roasted Fresh in Bordon — Honest Coffee, No Fuss
At Acorns Coffee, all our beans are roasted in-house at The Shed in Bordon. Small batch roasting means we can ensure every bag is exceptionally fresh, perfectly balanced, and crafted with care.
