THE PRODUCER

From the highlands of Gedeb, Ethiopia, this coffee comes from hundreds of smallholder farmers growing heirloom varieties with exceptional care. Every cup reflects a shared commitment to sustainability, traceability, and Ethiopia's rich coffee heritage.

Carefully washed and slowly dried at 2000 metres above sea level, the Chelchele Processing Site continues to demonstrate the outstanding quality and consistency that has made it a valued partner for seven consecutive years.

THE PROCESS

The Washed process at Chelchele involves:

• 🍒 Cherry Selection — Careful picking at peak ripeness
• 🔧 De-Pulping — Mechanical removal of skin and mucilage
• 💧 Fermentation — Traditional wet fermentation
• 🚿 Washing — Thorough washing in clean water
• ☀️ Slow Drying — Careful slow drying at high altitude

This meticulous washed process delivers vibrant sweetness, elegant florals, and lively citrus notes characteristic of high-altitude Gedeb coffees.
