Ethiopia Chelbesa #4

The Chelbesa washing station is the first of two sites owned by SNAP Coffee, one of the exporting companies we work with; the second site is Danche. Located at 2100 masl, Chelbesa is near Worka Town in Gedeb, also known as Yirgacheffe.

Chelbesa is the largest growing area in Gedeb, encompassing 1240 hectares of coffee farms situated between 1925 and 2110 masl. The proximity of the washing station to the farms ensures that no farmer needs to transport their cherries for more than 40 minutes to reach the station.

This is one of the few lots of coffee that we have bought from the same washing station this year and this picking went through a fully washed process, resulting in a very clean cup bursting of citrus and stone fruits, with underlying notes of orange blossom and a lingering tea like finish.
