The legend:
Ethiopia, well known as the place where the coffee was born, is the region where the coffee plantations grow wild throughout the lush, green highlands. And Yirgacheffe is home to the most elusive and complex profiles Ethiopia has to offer. That is the main reason why this small zone has profiled itself so well within the global coffee market. Since millenniums the coffee varietals have been cultivated and enjoyed at this place – long time before there was such a thing as a wet processing mill.
The blend
Creation of the Italian coffee master and barista teacher – Paolo Scimone, the blend for this limited Baristo coffee Special Selection consists of 100% Arabica varieties.
There’s a rule that before starting an auction for each specific variety, the buyers are checking the quality of the coffee by degustation of green coffee, the process is called “cupping”.
The technology
