Ethiopia Single Origin

Misty Valley delivers an exceptional experience. A perfumed floral aroma gives way to a lively fruit basket of flavors, supported by a smooth, creamy body that enhances the coffee’s bright, layered complexity. The finish lingers with a silky, pleasant mouthfeel, making every sip a testament to the artistry behind this extraordinary coffee.

The washed coffees of Yirgacheffe have long been celebrated for their delicate, tea-like aromatics and bright citrus notes. But in recent years, producers in the Gedio region have been redefining Ethiopia’s original natural processing method, creating an entirely new expression of this renowned origin. Misty Valley is a shining example of the fruitiness, complexity, and vibrant character that define these Natural Yirgacheffe coffees.

Crafted with meticulous care by exporter and producer partner Abdullah Bagersh, the Natural Misty Valley undergoes an extraordinary level of attention throughout its journey. Upon arrival at the mill, the ripe cherries are dried on raised African beds and turned continuously, day and night, for the first 48 hours. This crucial step ensures even moisture evaporation, preventing mold and uneven air circulation—challenges often faced in natural processing. Once fully dried, the beans are carefully hulled, sorted, and classified as a Grade 1 Yirgacheffe before being traded through the Ethiopian Coffee Exchange.
