Yaye is a washing station in Arbegona, in Ethiopia’s Sidama region, built by Testi Specialty Coffee in 2021 beside the Gelana River. Around 400 families deliver cherry there each year, most farming organically on less than a hectare, with coffee growing alongside corn and false banana under native shade trees. This lot comes from twenty of them, chosen because their fruit is consistently the best that arrives. They are paid a premium on delivery and a second payment once the coffee sells, which lands just as they are preparing for the next harvest.

Special Lot
These micro-lots have been selected because they show distinct character, and they exemplify our high standards of quality and clarity.

Whole beans or pre-ground?

Coffee deteriorates much faster once it is ground, making whole beans the ideal way to purchase coffee. If you don't have a grinder though, all good!

Grind Guide

Whole Beans - not ground, you have your own grinder
Commercial Espresso - very fine for a commercial espresso machine
Home Espresso - quite fine for a domestic espresso machine
Stovetop - fine for percolator / moka pot
Aeropress - medium for Aeropress
Pour Over - medium for pour over
Plunger - coarse for plunger / french press
Batch Brewer - very coarse for Moccamaster and other batch brewers
