Adado Washing Station sits nearby the town of Yirgacheffe. Yirgacheffe is home to some of the most highly sought-after coffees in the world. Coffee was made to flourish in Yirgacheffe. Literally! Arabica coffee plants are native to Yirgacheffe, Arabica grew wild in Yirgacheffe before it grew anywhere else in the world.
As a result, Yirgacheffe’s climate is the climate for Arabica coffee. All the things the coffee industry seeks elsewhere - high altitudes, nutrient-rich soil, adequate rainfall, warm days and cool nights - are here in Yirgacheffe because Arabica evolved to flourish in Yirgacheffe’s climate.
Combine all that with the rigorous, quality-focused processing at Adado Washing Station and you have the original recipe for great coffee.
