YirgZ is Keffa’s trademarked washed Yirgacheffe Grade 1 coffee. In the early mornings in Kochere, Yirgacheffe, late in the harvest season, workers arrive at the washing station and line up alongside the drying beds. Bundles of washed coffee in parchment are untied and opened wide. Dozens of hands reach into the beans, spreading them out flat to greet the rising sun. Mill managers pay close attention to the weather during the drying process. The coffee is laid out on raised beds and rotated for even drying and are covered from 11am-3pm, the hottest part of the day, so that the beans are not dried out too quickly before reaching the desired water activity.
The coffee-growing region of Yirgacheffe is small but fertile, producing some of the world’s most well-known beans. The patented YirgZ takes the classic Yirgacheffe taste profile to the next level by ensuring zero defects. The coffee is rigorously sorted in a process that includes mechanical sorting by size and density, then careful hand sorting that takes three times longer than conventional coffee.
To show appreciation for this work, Keffa pays the sorters three times higher than the average wage. Workers say the extra income helps them support their communities and send their children to school, highlighting the importance of specialty coffee premiums and direct trading practices.

Propeller Coffee Co.
Quality. Sustainability. Community. More than just coffee.
Quality
Propeller only buys from the most experienced and knowledgeable farmers because they produce the highest quality specialty beans. These coffees taste incredible, are tough to find but are worth the extra effort. We then dedicate ourselves to making certain every batch of coffee we roast meets or exceeds the standards our customers have come to trust. To do this we cup and analyse every batch!
Sustainability
At every step in the process, we take the extra steps to make our coffee the most sustainable it can possibly be: we maintain direct trade relationships; roast our beans using energy efficient approaches in our low footprint roastery; use biodegradable packaging for our coffee and offset our transportation with Bullfrog’s bio-diesel program.
Community
We care deeply about the people we work with, the industry we work in and the communities we live in. We believe in putting social and environmental impact right alongside company profits and using business as a force for good. Through events such as Chefs for Change to benefit Community Food Centers of Canada, Greasy Spoon Diner series to benefit Sistering and A better Life Foundation and reduced rates for non-profit events as well as coffee donation programs, we give back to the community that has given so much to us.
Well thought, well grown, well roasted.
