„While the Kaldi story dates back some one thousand years, Ethiopia today is still as exotic as mysterious as it was then. One can find Kaldi's goats in the streets of the capital Addis Ababa, a city bursting with a mixture of modern development and ancient human history. And dating back to the start of the Kaldi legend, this North African country has continued to produce some of the best coffee in the world and now the industry is working on making it even better. But two decades of civil strife and socialist rule under the former strongman Mengistu left infrastructure in ruins, coffee farms in bad shape and in urgent need of rehabilitation, and the industry further burdened by a heavy tax system.“

„Like the best Sumatran and Yemen coffees it is rich, teasing, and mysterious on the palate, with a very long, resonant finish. Like Sumatran, its acidity vibrates inside the richness of the body, but Yirgacheffe adds a soft, fragrant, flowery note so distinctive that it may make this the most unique among the world's coffees.“
