Ethiopian Yirgacheffe Coffee Beans

AFAM International DMCC, the authorised UAE distributor of AMG Coffee Ethiopia, supplies export-grade Yirgacheffe coffee across the UAE in both wholesale jute bags and retail packs.
About Ethiopian Yirgacheffe Coffee & Its Origin
Yirgacheffe coffee originates from the Gedeo Zone in southern Ethiopia and is internationally recognised for producing some of the cleanest and most refined Arabica coffees in the world. Although Yirgacheffe belongs to the wider Sidamo region, it was formally separated as a distinct origin in the 1950s and 1960s due to its consistently superior quality and clearly identifiable flavour profile. Its reputation is shaped by high-altitude forest growing conditions, fertile volcanic soils, and a cool, moist climate that allows slow cherry maturation, resulting in higher bean density, brighter acidity, sharper flavour clarity, and delicate floral aromatics.
Coffee is grown mainly by smallholder farmers in traditional garden-style plots and hand-picked to maintain consistency and quality. Yirgacheffe is best known for washed processing, which enhances its clean, tea-like body and floral character, while selected natural lots offer gentle sweetness and fruit notes. For professional buyers, it remains one of Ethiopia’s most trusted and widely traded specialty origins.
