Konga Coop

Description

We are pleased to announce our newest addition to our coffee line-up: Ethiopia Yirgacheffe Gr 1 Konga.

The Konga Coop has a very well organized washing station in the heart of Yirgacheffe. Its located at 1850 meters above sea level, but they claim to be harvesting coffees up to 2300 meters altitude.

They have really strong management and are considered to be one of the more successful cooperatives in the area. All cooperatives in Ethiopia belong to a Union that is the seller and exporter of the coffee which is where they take care of dry milling and grading before exports. Most of these folks operate small family plots with both recently planted trees of improved varietals and traditional old varieties which are referred to as Ethiopian Heirloom variety.

We are excited for the arrival of this coffee and KNOW that you will love it. As far as flavors go, it has oodles of Jasmine, coffee flower, black tea and citric aromas, a classic Yirgacheffe profile. As far as flavors, we are getting bergamot, rosehip and lemon. As it cools, it becomes lively and delicate with highly complex fruit notes, great intensity and juiciness.
