Classic Ethiopian, Done Dark

#713 Ethiopia Yirgacheffe

12 oz whole bean medium coffee

Syrupy, sweet, bold, toasty: Lighthouse’s Ethiopia Yirgacheffe is the complete package. It’s as sophisticated as a dark roast, as distinctive as a single origin, and full of old-school Seattle coffee mojo. At first sip, you’ll taste bold, smoky sugars and dark molasses, with just a subtle hint of florals and wine-like fruit: Ethiopia’s classic flavor profile. As the cup cools, the berry notes emerge, tempered by a smooth caramel body. You’ll love this darker take on East Africa’s most highly-desired bean.

Ed Leebrick, owner and head roaster at Lighthouse, is a coffee legend. He’s personally trained many of the top roasters in Seattle and Portland, and everyone in the local coffee scene has a story about how Ed inspired their work. Lighthouse Roasters is one of the oldest continuously operating cafes in Seattle, located in the same spot since the early 90s, and still slinging their darker, traditionally-roasted coffees to our caffeine-loving city. From the very beginning, Lighthouse's commitment to the craft of coffee roasting has earned them a loyal, ever-growing fan base. We couldn’t begin to curate the best of Seattle’s roasting community without Lighthouse, and their bold, flavorful coffees.

Ethiopian beans have always carried a classic, exotic appeal, and their deep, complex flavors are perfectly suited to a darker profile. During the 80s and early 90s, roasts like these taught an entire generation how to love coffee! Reserve a bag of Lighthouse’s rich, satisfying Ethiopian Yirgacheffe today, and enjoy a darker twist on one of coffee’s most beloved origins. Like a true Lighthouse, it’s sure to shine a beacon of light through even the foggiest morning.
