FIRSTLIGHT 2025

About This Coffee

FIRSTLIGHT 2025 is an African blend combining Ethiopia Kaffa G2 and Tanzania AA South. The Ethiopian component comes from the high-altitude Kaffa region, where heirloom varieties grow wild under natural shade. Smallholder farmers handpick cherries, which undergo underwater fermentation for 48–72 hours and are dried on raised African beds. The Tanzanian component is sourced from the Southern Highlands, hand-picked and pulped the same day, then air-dried on African beds. Together they deliver a syrupy sweetness, pronounced sweet stone fruit, gentle pineapple acidity, and a rich, full body.

Yahava KoffeeWorks

Yahava KoffeeWorks was founded in Western Australia in 2001 by Dutch explorer and coffee enthusiast Alex Kok, known as the Koffee Baron, who traveled coffee growing regions by motorbike and roasted his discoveries in a Metricup Road shed that quickly became famous. The brand expanded to Singapore in 2011, bringing its adventurous sourcing philosophy and roast to order approach to a new audience, with all products now shipping from a roasting facility on Tagore Lane. Yahava proudly displays its Probat roaster and offers free daily tastings in store so customers can try before they buy, a hallmark of the KoffeeWorks experience. The range spans signature estate coffees from proven origins to limited release Grand Cru lots and seasonal Regional Blends, all exclusively Arabica and roasted by a team that follows the Baron's original methods.
