Café Grumpy Ethiopia Yirgacheffe Whole Bean Coffee, 12 oz — Single-Origin Medium Roast, Bright Floral & Apricot Notes

Café Grumpy Ethiopia Yirgacheffe is a 12 oz single-origin medium roast whole bean coffee showcasing bright floral and apricot notes with a smooth, tea-like finish.

This coffee comes from smallholder farms in the Yirgacheffe region of Ethiopia and is roasted in small batches by Café Grumpy in Brooklyn. The beans are sold whole to preserve peak freshness and to let you tailor the grind for espresso, pour-over, French press, drip, or cold brew. The product emphasizes traceable, fairly traded sourcing and is both gluten-free and kosher certified.

What flavor profile can I expect from Yirgacheffe?

Expect a layered cup: delicate floral aromatics, a fruity apricot sweetness, and a subtle malted chocolate undertone that rounds the finish. The medium roast keeps acidity balanced and highlights tea-like nuances native to Yirgacheffe beans.

• Top notes: floral and bergamot-like tea character
• Mid palate: bright apricot and stone-fruit sweetness
• Finish: gentle malted chocolate and smooth mouthfeel

How should I grind and brew to get the best results?

Whole beans let you match the grind to your equipment for optimal extraction. Choose a coarse grind for French press, medium for drip and pour-over, and fine for espresso. Cold brew benefits from a very coarse grind and extended steeping for a sweeter, lower-acidity cup.

• Espresso: fine grind, 18–25 seconds extraction (adjust to taste)
• Pour-over/Drip: medium grind, even water distribution
• French press: coarse grind, 4–5 minute steep for fuller body
• Cold brew: very coarse grind, 12–18 hour steep for smoothness

Is this ethically sourced and how is it packaged?

The beans are sourced directly from Ethiopian small farmers with fair-trade practices and traceability in mind. Café Grumpy roasts in small batches in Brooklyn and seals whole beans to preserve flavor; packaging reflects food safety standards and is free from added preservatives.

• Single-origin from Yirgacheffe smallholders
• Fair-trade transparency and farm-to-table sourcing
• Small-batch roasting in Brooklyn by a women-owned roaster
• Whole-bean packaging to maximize shelf life and freshness

Who is this for? This whole-bean Yirgacheffe is aimed at coffee drinkers who appreciate single-origin clarity and enjoy dialing in their brew method. It suits home baristas, pour-over fans, espresso hobbyists, and anyone who prefers ethically sourced beans with nuanced, tea-like fruit notes rather than heavy, dark-roast flavors.
