PRODUCER/s: Chelbesa Washing Station

ORIGIN: Gedeb, Yirgacheffe, Ethiopia

ALTITUDE: 1950-2100m

VARIETAL: Heirloom

PROCESS: Washed

This coffee comes to us from the rolling hills of Gedeb, Yirgacheffe. Smallholder farmers wait for the cherries to turn fully red and sweet before picking - patience is part of the process here. Those cherries travel no more than 40 minutes to reach Chelbesa washing station, keeping them fresh from tree to tank.

From there, it's a classic washed process: pulped and density-graded in water, fermented for 72 hours, then soaked, rinsed, and laid out to dry slowly over ten days in thin, even layers.

This coffee arrives at our roastery through our sourcing partners at Nordic Approach.

Music to be enjoyed with this coffee.
