Savor the Taste of Tradition: “Close Reach Ethiopia Yirgacheffe” - Coffee of the Month July 2024

For July 2024, Sailors Coffee Company is thrilled to present our Limited Edition Coffee of the Month: “Close Reach Ethiopia Yirgacheffe.” This exquisite single-origin offering is more than just a morning brew; it’s a voyage of flavors that captures the essence of Ethiopia’s renowned Yirgacheffe region. 

"Close Reach" refers to a point of sail approximately 60° off the wind, representing a delicate balance and control, much like the intricate flavors in this coffee. Our medium-light roast highlights the exceptional characteristics of the Ethiopian heirloom varietal grown at altitudes of 1,200-2,250 meters. The beans undergo a fully washed process and are dried on raised beds, ensuring a purity and depth of flavor that stands out.

In your cup, you’ll experience tasting notes of medium acidity and body, with a floral aroma accented by hints of brown spice and mild raspberry. Each sip offers a unique glimpse into the complex and captivating profile of Yirgacheffe coffee, renowned for its vibrant and aromatic qualities.

This exceptional coffee is part of a multi-coop offering processed by Adulina PLC, a company founded by Mahabub Awel.
