The co-op

The Layo Teraga cooperative brings together several small producers from the Yirgacheffe region of Ethiopia, where coffee has been cultivated using traditional methods passed down through generations. At high altitudes, the coffee plants benefit from an ideal environment to produce dense and aromatic beans, carefully hand-picked to preserve their full quality.

Thanks to the cooperative's collective work, producers benefit from modern processing infrastructures and improved access to the specialty coffee market. This expertise, combined with a darker roast, reveals a deeper, more comforting facet of the Ethiopian terroir.

In the cup, this coffee develops a rich and enveloping texture where notes of black tea bring elegance, while apricot adds a subtle fruity touch. The intense and persistent finish is reminiscent of 90% dark chocolate. A complex and assertive coffee, for those who truly love the taste of coffee… but with finesse.

The Yirgacheffe

Located in southern Ethiopia, the Yirgacheffe region is world-renowned for its coffees with refined and complex aromatic profiles. Coffee trees grow between 1,800 and 2,200 meters above sea level, in rich soils and under a temperate climate that promotes slow cherry maturation. This progressive development allows the bean to develop a beautiful concentration of sugars and a distinctive aromatic depth.

In this lot from the Layo Teraga cooperative, the dark roast highlights a more intense and velvety version of the Yirgacheffe terroir. The classic and delicate notes of the region take on a richer and more structured dimension here. Black tea brings a dry and slightly tannic elegance, apricot adds a discreet fruity sweetness, while 90% dark chocolate dominates the finish with intensity. A balanced, deep, and comforting cup that demonstrates that a dark coffee can also be nuanced and sophisticated.
