Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf Ethiopia Yirgacheffe – Light Roast Whole Bean Coffee, 1lb

Flavor profile and origin

From the high-altitude hills of the Yirgacheffe region, this Ethiopian coffee is harvested by hand and then slow-roasted to emphasize its delicate character. The light roast preserves a bright aroma and a mellow, smooth body that many drinkers find approachable yet refined, perfect for a thoughtful morning routine or a calming afternoon break.

Our approach emphasizes direct-sourcing and careful selection. The whole bean coffees are hand selected and roasted from the top 1% of specialty-grade Arabica beans sourced from small farms around the world. This commitment reflects The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf’s longstanding roasting heritage, rooted in Southern California since 1963.

Each batch honors the farm families and communities that support sustainable, small-scale agriculture. The Yirgacheffe single origin showcases a hillside terroir that makes it distinct from blends, delivering a clean cup that stays true to its origin.
