Ethiopia Yirgacheffe Chelbesa
From: $18.50
Ethiopia Chelbesa comes from the heart of the Gedeo zone, within the renowned Gedeb district. Sitting between 1,800 and 2,200 MASL, this high-altitude region provides perfect conditions for growing Kurume and Dega varietals. Chelbesa is the largest coffee-producing area in Gedeb, made up of 1,240 hectares and over 250 smallholder farmers. Cherries are delivered daily to a local washing station, where no farmer is more than 40 minutes away, ensuring optimal freshness. After mechanical de-pulping, the coffee is fermented for 24 to 48 hours, before being washed clean and dried on raised African beds. This coffee has a delicate structure with blackcurrant and orange-like acidity, floral notes, and a lingering dark chocolate finish.
