ABOUT YAYE ARBEGONA

THIS SITE FROM ARBEGONA HAS BECOME ONE OF OUR MAIN PROJECTS IN THE REGION AND CONSISTENTLY PRODUCES SOME OF OUR HIGHEST-SCORING LOTS OF THE YEAR. LATER THIS YEAR, WE WILL BE TRAVELING BACK TO ETHIOPIA TO VISIT YAYE AND ARBEGONA, CONTINUING TO BUILD ON THE WORK THAT HAS BEGUN. THESE COFFEES YIELD SOME OF THE MOST ARTICULATE PROFILES WE TASTE EACH YEAR, AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO SHARING THEM EACH SEASON.
