Background: The Fairtrade Organic Ethiopia Yirgacheffe Cherbenta Gr1 coffee is a true testament to the remarkable diversity and excellence of Ethiopian coffee.  Grown in the high-altitude region of Bule, Southern Ethiopia, this coffee is known for its unique and outstanding qualities.  The Cherbenta cooperative is one of the newer players in the Yirgacheffe coffee scene, situated at an impressive altitude ranging from 1900 to 2200 meters above sea level. This high elevation, combined with the cooperative’s commitment to producing natural coffee, results in a cup profile that is both complex and enchanting.  The natural process used for this coffee involves drying the coffee cherries with their fruit pulp intact, allowing the beans to absorb some of the fruit’s flavours during the drying process. As a result, the Fairtrade Organic Ethiopia Yirgacheffe Cherbenta Gr1 coffee offers a rich and intricate flavour profile that is loved by coffee connoisseurs around the world.  The Cherbenta cooperative is part of the Yirgacheffe Coffee Farmers Cooperatives Union, which unites 28 cooperatives across six districts in the Gedeo Zone, Southern Ethiopia. This union not only ensures fair compensation for the hardworking farmers but also promotes organic and sustainable coffee farming practices.  This natural coffee is not just a delightful beverage; it is a testament to the rich history and innovation of Yirgacheffe coffee and a symbol of ethical and sustainable coffee production. It embodies the flavours and traditions of this unique region, making it a true treasure in the world of coffee.
