Ethiopian Coffee

Origin & Quality

Our Ethiopian coffee comes from Kochere, a small district within the celebrated Yirgacheffe coffee-growing region of southern Ethiopia’s SNNPR (Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples’ Region), just south of the town of Yirgacheffe and about 250 miles southwest of Addis Ababa. Local farmers bring their harvested cherries to washing stations throughout the district for processing. Kochere’s iron-rich, acidic soil and high elevation create ideal growing conditions, and the district is known for producing some of the most vibrant, lively Yirgacheffe coffees in the region.

Flavor Profile

Grown at 1,800 meters and fully washed, this Ethiopian Heirloom varietal delivers the bright, clean character Yirgacheffe is known for — floral and complex, with the lively acidity typical of high-altitude washed Ethiopian coffee.

Our Roasting Philosophy

At Dusty Rose Coffee Roasters, we small-batch roast every origin in Greer, South Carolina, to preserve freshness and honor the character of each region. This Ethiopian coffee reflects our commitment to honest sourcing, intentional roasting, and giving back — one happy horse at a time.
