What it tastes like

If you think coffee can’t taste like fruit, start here.

Fruits of Kochere opens with a floral aroma, moves into juicy stone fruit and finishes with a bright citrus snap. The light roast keeps those delicate flavors front and center, so the cup is lively and almost tea-like rather than heavy.

Where it grows

Kochere, Yirgacheffe

Kochere is a small district within Yirgacheffe, in southern Ethiopia. Ethiopia is where coffee began, and Yirgacheffe is its most famous growing area, with coffee grown on small family plots high in the hills at 1,800 to 2,100 meters. That altitude and the region’s heirloom coffee varieties give Yirgacheffe coffees their unmistakable floral, citrusy character.
