Good flavor

"Love that Twiga is organic and fairtrade! It seems hard to get yirgacheffe coffee so I was glad to find it but I do wish they had this same coffee in a light roast. That would be even better for me."

— Stephen E. (4/5)

Q&A

GOOD TO KNOW

Frequently asked questions

Is Twiga coffee whole bean or ground?

Whole bean. Every Twiga coffee ships as whole bean so the aromatics stay locked in until you grind. Grind just before you brew for the best cup.

How does the subscription work?

Choose Subscribe & Save at checkout and pick a delivery rhythm: every week, 2, 4, 8 or 16 weeks. You save 10% on every delivery, and you can skip, pause or cancel at any time from your account.

How does my purchase support wildlife conservation?

10% of proceeds donated to wildlife conservation. We partner with the Giraffe Conservation Foundation, the Hirola Conservation Program and the Somali Giraffe Project.

What does Ethiopia Yirgacheffe taste like?

Bright and aromatic, with notes of berry, chocolate and floral sweetness. The medium roast keeps the cup balanced so those notes stay clear rather than being overtaken by the roast.

Is Yirgacheffe a good coffee for filter or espresso?

It works across brewing methods. Filter brewing tends to highlight the coffee's brighter, more aromatic side, while espresso concentrates it. See our brew guide for ratios by method.
