Tasting Genesis, expect notes of peach, black tea, and chocolate. The classic floral character of Yirgacheffe can be found in a delicate note of jasmine. Honey-like sweetness and mellow acidity make Genesis delicious adaptable, try it black or with milk.
This coffee comes from the Chelchele washing station, which is in the kebele, or village, of Chelchele, in the words, or district, of Kochere, in the Yirgacheffe region.
Yirgacheffe has become famous for exception coffee with delicious fruity character. Across the region, the thick vegetation is a product of the warm tropical climate with moderate wet and dry seasons.
Most coffee is shade-grown by small producers using traditional, sustainable practices. Coffees are cultivated from 1900 to 2400m in these highlands. The multitude of micro-regions creates complex profiles depending on the washing station a particular coffee is from.



In Ethiopia, natural coffees are typically delivered the day they are harvested, and are first sorted for ripeness and quality before being rinsed clean of dirt. Then they are spread on raised drying beds or tables, where they will be rotated constantly throughout the course of drying. Drying can take an average of 8–25 days, depending on the weather.
Love the peach chocolate flavor!
Excellent for that price
Fruity and nice acidity
Received a free sample of Genesis with my first order and absolutely loved it. Sometimes simple things are the best ones.
Lovely basic Espresso!!
wonderful aroma, flavor, and freshness. Excellent customer service with THE BARN!
Der Genesis Kaffee hat mir sehr gut gefallen. Er ist schön aromatisch, angenehm süß und überhaupt nicht zu sauer. Die fruchtigen Noten erinnern tatsächlich etwas an Pfirsich, dazu kommt eine feine schokoladige Note. Besonders als Espresso schmeckt er mir sehr gut. Ein ausgewogener, interessanter Kaffee, den ich gerne wieder kaufen würde
Super yummy!

I received a sample through *Standart* magazine and fell in love with it. It has a silky, chocolatey, and gently sweet profile; the only downside is that they don't ship to Chile, so I can't order more to keep enjoying it. But it is highly recommended—I loved it.
This coffee tastes amazing for my cappucino at home. Usually I am very selective with coffee, and this one met my expectations. Thank you The Barn
Balanced nicely espresso that goes great with milk drinks
My favourite, perfectly balanced
This is really a nice coffee that shows the quality of The Barn roasting as always.
This is a masterpiece! Our very favorite one. Lovely espresso also blends great with milk.
tried the elemental genesis bundle. liked it a lot! especially blended together it makes sense and is a rounded coffee. not bad
Not at all what I expect from a Yirgacheffe. The stars I gave it, was because of the smooth mouthfeel, and the fact that the pear tasting note is spot on, even though the taste is boring.
Super yummy!
✌️☝️
Decent
The taste is always unique.
I got this as a gift. Very good quality!
Wunderbarer Kaffee! Pfirsich klar rauszuschmecken
Der Kaffee ist insgesamt sehr gut und ausgewogen.
Mir hat das nicht gefallen, es schmeckt verbrannt
Schmeckt nicht schlecht, aber auch nicht besonders herausragend gegenüber den anderen Bohnen von the Barn. In Summe etwas schade einen Standard-Kaffee im Abo zu erhalten. Diese hier sind so stark geröstet, dass Frucht leider nur wenig durchkommt.
Good
Kaffeequalität immer sehr gut.
Ich trinke seit vielen Jahren zu etwa 70% Kaffees aus Äthiopien in Röstung von namhaften Röstereien (Filterausarz+Papierfilter). Die Röstung für " GENESIS" finde ich etwas zu dunkel geraten und vom Geschmack her fehlt es etwas am fruchtigen Säurekörper....wäre nach meiner Erfahrung kein optimales Aushängeschild für aussergwöhnlichen Kaffeegenuss nach optimalen Röstgrad....
Sehr leckerer Kaffee – ich bin froh, ihn entdeckt zu haben!
Very happy with this. Very fruity but with a nice crema!
Ich eine große Erwartung im Vorfeld wurde größtenteils erfüllt - daher „nur“ 4 Sterne … Ich bleibe vorerst noch beim Christmas Coffee 😍
For a "regular" coffee, Genesis has an amazing aroma and flavor that defied my expectations--amazing! It will definitely be a regular part of our coffee lifestyle, and maybe even take the place of our Roaster's Choice subscription--it is that good!
I am really happy about this new gem! It is great, complex and velvety, at an amazing price/quality rate! Love it!
Great Ethiopian coffeee!
