Why choose Yrgalem
The elegant Ethiopian for floral black coffee
Yrgalem is not a coffee for customers chasing thick bitterness or dark roast power. It is the opposite: a refined Ethiopian Arabica built around fragrance, clarity and a clean citrus finish. Choose it when you want coffee that feels graceful, aromatic and memorable in long black, filter coffee, pour-over or a lighter espresso.
Floral Ethiopian identity
A lifted floral aroma gives Yrgalem a more elegant identity than ordinary office or supermarket coffee.
Bergamot and honey
Bergamot brightness and honey-like sweetness make the cup feel refined without becoming harsh or aggressively sour.
Clean washed clarity
Washed processing gives the cup structure and transparency, helping the floral and citrus notes stay clean.
Selected garden coffee
Selected from small Ethiopian garden coffees in Sidamo, giving the coffee a real origin story instead of anonymous Arabica.
Taste profile
Flowers, bergamot, honey and citrus aftertaste
Yrgalem is a fragrance-first coffee. Its value is not heaviness, but aroma: floral notes, bergamot lift, honey sweetness and a clean citrus aftertaste that makes it excellent between meals or as a refined black coffee.
Floral aroma
A graceful floral bouquet that makes the cup feel lighter, cleaner and more premium.
Bergamot and honey
A refined mix of citrus-like brightness and gentle sweetness, ideal for black coffee drinkers.
Citrus aftertaste
A fresh finish that keeps the cup clean and lively without moving into heavy bitterness.
Best suited for
Black coffee drinkers, filter users and refined espresso lovers
Yrgalem is best for customers who enjoy coffee black: long black, filter coffee, pour-over, batch brew or a lighter single-origin espresso. It is also suitable for offices and hospitality buyers who want a more elegant guest coffee instead of a heavy house blend.
The buying logic
A coffee for people who notice aroma
Many coffees rely on strength to feel impressive. Yrgalem wins differently. It is for customers who appreciate fragrance, clean acidity and a cup that feels precise rather than heavy. It gives home and office buyers a refined Ethiopian origin that is easy to explain: flowers, bergamot, honey and citrus.
Origin and selection
Selected Yrgalem from Sidamo, Ethiopia
Yrgalem comes from Ethiopia’s Sidamo region, where many coffees are grown by very small producers in “coffee gardens”. Le Piantagioni’s selection was created through a relationship with Abdallah Bagersh, a recognised Ethiopian coffee taster and selector, to obtain a special Sidamo coffee chosen for quality and character.

Packaging advantage
Sealed to protect floral and citrus aromatics
Every bag is nitrogen-flushed and hermetically sealed to slow oxidation while unopened. This matters for Yrgalem because its selling point is not roast intensity, but delicate floral aroma, bergamot, honey and citrus clarity.
Hermetically sealed
Designed to protect the coffee while the bag remains unopened.
Nitrogen-flushed
Modified-atmosphere packaging helps reduce unnecessary oxygen exposure.
Protects delicate fragrance
Useful for Ethiopian coffees where floral and citrus notes are central to the cup profile.
Ready when needed
Suitable for home users and offices keeping aromatic specialty coffee stock for regular brewing.
Espresso guide
Starting point for extraction
For single-origin coffees, the supplier guide generally starts from 16g–18g. For most home and office users, we recommend using 18g–20g for a richer flavour and easier extraction, especially when preparing espresso or a longer black coffee.
Good to know
Works for espresso and filter, but keep it clean
Yrgalem can be brewed as espresso, long black or filter coffee. If the cup tastes too light, increase the dose or grind slightly finer. If it tastes dry or too sharp, grind slightly coarser or shorten the extraction.
