Delicate, fragrant, and elegant—that's exactly what this Ethiopian beauty from Chelbesa Washing Station, the heart of the legendary Yirgacheffe region , is like . In the cup, it opens like a freshly picked flower – first you smell fresh peaches mixed with a light touch of bergamot, and then, as a golden finishing touch, sweet caramel. The taste is clear, delicate and tea-like, as only the best Ethiopian coffee can be. Every sip caresses your tongue.
At an altitude of 1,950–2,200 meters above sea level, Heirloom coffee trees grow in the fertile soil of the Gedeo region , Gedeb. Chelbesa Washing Station was established in 2016 and has since won the hearts of specialty coffee lovers around the world. In this part of Ethiopia, coffee is grown in the natural shade of trees, harvested by hand, and carefully processed so that each bean tells its own story. The careful hands of local farmers and the clean water from a mountain spring give rise to coffee that is a true gem among African micro-lots.
The Washed WX process ensures absolute purity and harmony of flavors. After the pulp is removed, the coffee cherries are slowly dried on raised beds, where they are regularly turned and carefully checked until they reach the ideal moisture content. This results in a balanced and complex profile in the cup: juicy peach and caramel sweetness transition into a subtle note of black tea. The acidity is orange-like, clean and naturally refreshing, with a light, juicy and elegant body. This coffee is like a view of the Ethiopian mountains at sunset – calm, radiant and perfectly balanced.
