Ethiopia Yirgacheffe

Ethiopia is where all coffee began in the 9^th century AD. Legend has it that an Ethiopian goat herder named Kaldi discovered the coffee berry after his goats ingested and were unable to go to sleep. He later spread that knowledge to a local monastery and eventually coffee cultivation was spread through the Arabian Peninsula to ultimately be traded and popularized in Europe and then grown in similar climates all over the world.  The Yirgacheffe is one the most beloved of these varieties. A distinct and internationally famous coffee, Yirgacheffe hails from micro regions that lie within the larger region of Sidama.
