Literally translated as “Land of Many Springs,” Yirgacheffe has the ideal topography,
elevation, and water sources to produce and process exceptional coffees. Yirgacheffe is one
of the woredas, a district like a municipality or county that includes many towns, of the
Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples Region (SNNPR) of Ethiopia. Yirgacheffe is
part of the Gedeo Zone of SNNPR and the Yirgacheffe woreda is bordered to the south by
Kochere, to the west by Oromia Zone, to the north by Wenago, to the east by Bule, and to
the southeast by Gedeb. The Yirgacheffe woreda is 409km from Ethiopia’s capital of Addis
Ababa and has a population of almost 200,000 people, less than 10% of whom live in cities.

Coffee farmers in Yirgacheffe are typically multi-generational, small-scale landholders,
sometimes with only a few acres of land. Most coffees in Yirgacheffe are sold as cherry to
centralized washing stations that help further separate flavor profiles. Many farmers also
grow the subsistence crop enset ventricosum, also known as false banana.
Yirgacheffe is considered by many to be the birthplace of coffee and the coffee trees grown
in the region are a naturally occurring mix of heirloom varietals cultivated among other
species in coffee gardens and coffee forests. Washed Coffee was introduced to Ethiopia in
the 1970’s, and Yirgacheffe was the location of the first wet processing mill.
The climate in Yirgacheffe is warm and temperate. In the winter, there is much less rainfall
than the summer, with an annual average of 1525mm and a difference of 246mm of
precipitation between the wettest and driest months. The average temperature across
Yirgacheffe is 18.4 degrees Celsius.
