Koke Honey is back! One of our most popular coffees in 2022 and 2023, we’re thrilled to re-introduce this season’s Koke Honey. This coffee comes from the Koke and Birbes Kela washing stations in the famed Yirgacheffe woreda in Ethiopia. 

Koke Honey, as its name implies, is a honey-processed coffee. The coffee cherries were fermented in-cherry for two days prior to being pulped. The pulped coffee was then dried on raised beds until optimal humidity was reached. The extra time that the cherry and inner mucilage is in contact with the beans adds fruity flavors and depth to the coffee. 

Yirgacheffe holds a special place in the hearts of coffee enthusiasts. Considered by many to be the birthplace of coffee, Yirgacheffe translates as “Land of Many Springs,” which is in keeping with its ideal topography, elevation and water sources needed to produce some of the most sought-after coffees in the world.
