☕ This Month’s Featured Coffee (March 2026)

Ethiopia Washed Yirgacheffe G2 Organic
Each month, we feature one coffee that ships to all of our monthly subscribers. It’s our way of sharing not just what you’re drinking, but why it matters — the place it comes from, the people behind it, and the care that goes into every step.
March is a transition month. The air starts to shift, mornings feel a little brighter, and the coffee we reach for tends to follow suit.
For March, we’re featuring a coffee that embodies clarity and lift: Ethiopia Washed Yirgacheffe G2 Organic.
Why Yirgacheffe?
Yirgacheffe is one of the most respected coffee-growing regions in Ethiopia—and globally. Grown at high elevations, these coffees mature slowly, allowing sugars and acids to develop with greater intensity and structure.
This particular lot is washed processed, which enhances clarity and precision in the cup. The result is a coffee that is clean, articulate, and layered rather than heavy or rustic.
If you appreciate brightness, florals, and structure, this one delivers.
What to Expect in the Cup
This coffee is defined by its aromatics and clarity.
Aroma: Jasmine, bergamot, soft citrus Flavor Notes: Lemon zest, stone fruit, light honey sweetness Body: Light to medium, silky Finish: Clean, tea-like, lingering
The acidity is bright but refined—not sharp. The sweetness is subtle and structured. It’s a coffee that rewards slower brewing and focused tasting.
Why We Chose It for March
As we move toward spring, we gravitate toward coffees that feel elevated and precise. Yirgacheffe naturally carries floral and citrus notes that align with the season—lighter, fresher, and expressive.
It also performs exceptionally well across brew methods:
- Pour Over (V60 / Kalita): Highlights florals and citrus clarity
- Batch Brew: Maintains structure with clean sweetness
- Single-Origin Espresso: Produces a vibrant, aromatic shot with a crisp finish
For those who typically lean toward heavier profiles, this is a strong opportunity to experience what high-elevation Ethiopian coffees are known for.
Organic & Smallholder Produced
This coffee is organic and produced by smallholder farmers growing heirloom varietals. These garden-style farms, combined with careful washed processing, produce a profile that is transparent to origin—distinct, articulate, and consistent.
Available Now
Ethiopia Washed Yirgacheffe G2 Organic is not a loud coffee. It’s precise. Structured. Elegant.
