Very good coffee!! I roasted past FC and it turned out great. My first sip were strawberry notes. I knew that I hit the right roast when I finished the cup. There are some dead beans in the bunch, but not many. I would highly recommend it and will be buying more if it is available.

Quite different flavor profile from the Indonesian Bali Hai Decaf that was purchased at the same time. Roasted to a City++ roast as we prefer a dark roast but did not want to kill the profile by over-roasting. My taste "pallet" is not the most sensitive to all the subtleties of a complex coffee, but my wife and I both would purchase this again.

I went with a light sample roast to see what the bean has to offer and was very impressed. Usually the coffee flavor descriptors are seemingly random, but this one actually does have the blueberry note so beloved by Ethiopian natural fans. I’m excited to continue developing my roast for this coffee and see how it tastes at medium roast levels. Definitely give it a shot!

Best coffee I roasted over the years. City+ level. Low Acidity. Very complex. Blueberry is dominant note. Will buy again.

When the coffee is roasted as medium the flavor has outstanding blueberry flavor. This is my second five pound batch and I will continue to purchase it. Thank you CBC for making this bean available for purchase.

When I roasted this coffee medium it had a pleasant lemony sweetness that I enjoyed. Medium dark roast to me had a chocolaty flavor which I also enjoyed. I would buy this coffee again.

This is the kind of coffee that made me fall in love with dry processed beans. Many years since I've had a natural this good. Very few defects, lots of beautiful fruit notes and not a lot of funk. GREAT coffee!

Another excellent offering from CBC. The green coffee bean is small and has a clean grassy nose. The beans were clean, no damage. Roasted between 1st and 2nd crack. The roasted beans smells like chocolate covered strawberries and blueberries. I am a fan of Ethiopian Yirgacheffe and Ethiopia Misty Valley Yirgacheffe Natural exceeds all my expectations.
Also makes a excellent blend 1:1 with Colombia Don Enrique Reserve.

This is a great Ethiopian coffee, that I enjoy with a light roast in an espresso. The taste seems to remind one of chocolate a bit, with a very slightly sweet aftertaste. Highly recommended.

I found this Yirgacheffe to be nice and balanced, sweet with great fruity overtones :)

Roasted to medium, it is wonderful fruity smell.
If you like dark roast, this is not for you.

I'm a fan of natural/dry process coffee, so this is a hit with me. Still trying to figure out exactly the best roast profile, but everyone should have a Yirgacheefe to compare with other City roast favorites. I prefer the Ethiopian Sidamo region coffees (Got spoiled by Hamasho Village single source ... can't find that now), but that's the only reason for less than 5 stars. It might turn out to be YOUR favorite. Has moderate fruity acid bite when served very hot, but smooths out as it cools in the cup.

One of the best tasting coffees I've roasted at any price. The only complaint is that the second crack is hard to discern. I roast 30 second into the second crack. The extra attention required is more than worth the effort.

My favorite Ethiopian so far. The fruit flavors (mostly blueberry) hold on a lot longer into the roast than other Ethiopians I have done. I roasted this one about 30 seconds past rolling FC for a nice medium and the blueberries held strong. Even in a blend with 25% Misty and 75% darker roast Brazil for body the blueberries were still very dominant in the cup. Definitely will be ordering more.

After roasting 4 coffee samples so far and not finding one I would call a keeper I landed on Ethiopia Misty Valley. With my trusty SR500, I roasted it to end of FC (City) with heat at medium after FC started. Delicious coffee in pour over using 0.8 oz of grounds between med and fine grind (like sand). So smooth, floral notes, light sweetness and balanced, medium boldness. This is less than 24 hrs after roast. Very Impressed.

Misty Valley is one of my all time favorite coffees to roast. It is beautifully prepped, and roasts more evenly than many Ethiopian coffees.
The flavor notes vary from year to year. This year's iteration gives me the welcome blueberry like essences, and as days go by a nice light cocoa...as roasted in my Fresh Roast SR800 I purchased here. I recommend a light medium, but of course as they say, YMMV. Delicious!

I’m not a professional at roasting and have only tried this bean a few times and it’s a little tougher for me to get that perfect roast than some others but I will get there. It still turned out good.

One of my favorite beans, alongside Kayon Mtn.
Ordered it as soon as it came back in stock. Ethiopians are very sweet, this one is no different.
10/10.

This is currently my favorite coffee. I have tried many Ethiopian and coffees from other regions, but this has become my "go to." Very smooth and fruity. I do a medium roast; City Roast.

Yirgscheffe coffees are a favorite of mine. And it seems over the years, a lot of other people's favorite. A great drinker, a fairly mellow body. I like to take it to a darker roast, FC+. Seems at this roast is at its smoothest, and most chocolate enhanced. Some sweeter, dark red fruit essences.

After testing many coffees over the years, we settled on Ethiopia Misty Valley Yirgacheffe Natural. Our preference is a very light roast work a genie, switching to cooling mode at first pop.
It makes for a really enjoyable morning starter as an espresso for me and a macchiato for my wife.
The only downside to this coffee is that you may want to drink too much.

This is my go-to coffee bean. It jhas very intense flavor but also very smooth. Great for both pour over as well as cold brew. I've tried several other yirgacheffes, but this one is far superior to the others. I take it to just at second crack for a nice dark roast.

This Ethiopia Yirgacheffe has been one of our staple beans since we started our business a year ago. We roast it dark to caramelize the sugars and the result is a wonderful dark chocolate, full body, coffee that's intense without being bitter. We also roast this bean light for a collaboration with an ice cream company, and medium for a collaboration with a local brewery.

I really like this coffee! I do it dark into second crack. I have reordered this several times and use it in pour overs and espressos.
