History

Coffee production in the Uraga district is relatively young, with many farms and trees established within the last decade. Historically, coffee from this area was often blended and sold as Yirgacheffe, but it has recently gained recognition as a distinct origin. The region is now celebrated for its high-altitude, high-quality lots that are processed and sold separately.
