The washed coffees of Yirgacheffe have long been prized for their delicate, tea-like aromatics and clean citrus flavor. Recently, producers in the Gedio region have been reinventing the natural process originally developed in Ethiopia to offer a completely different profile from this well-known origin. The Misty Valley is a prime example of the fruitiness, complexity, and character of these Natural Yirgacheffe coffees. Developed by exporter and producer partner Abdullah Bagersh, the Natural Misty Valley is subject to an incredible amount of care from start to finish. When the ripe cherries are first brought to the mill to dry on raised African beds, they are constantly turned (day and night!) for the first 48 hours of drying to ensure an even evaporation of the moisture from the cherry. This lends a consistency and cleanliness to the cup, which can prove difficult in a process prone to mold and uneven air circulation. After the coffee is fully dried and the skin, mucilage, and parchment removed, it is sorted and traded through the Ethiopian Coffee Exchange as a Natural Grade 4 Yirgacheffe.

Bitter

I have enjoyed many of the various offerings from Rhodes Roast, including other Yirgacheffe's, but this was a disappointment. Normally, I order a medium grind but this had two choices: medium/light and medium dark. I chose the medium dark and found the bitterness overpowering. I first reduced the amount of beans per grind, then found another local coffee to blend with it to get it palatable.

The Yirgacheffe coffee is our most popular coffee and has all roast levels from light through dark. We do not just have light/medium or medium/dark, but we also have light, medium, and dark espresso roast. Perhaps next time reach out to us or give us a call, and we can guide you on the roasting level that you may prefer. Many thanks for your support. RhoadsRoast Coffees.
