INTRO
A coffee that stood out for its bright, very fruit-forward profile — complex, with layers of citrus and stone fruit and a floral aroma. A beautiful representation of Ethiopian coffee. In the cup: citrus, stone fruit, and floral aroma.

THE PRODUCER
Produced by the Chelbesa Washing Station, together with small coffee growers based in and around the village of Chelbesa in Gedeo zone, Yirgacheffe. The station is owned by SNAP, a local company established to move high-quality coffee forward, selecting quality cherries from 476 growers living in the surrounding area who cultivate small plots for both food crops and coffee.

THE PROCESS
This lot is Washed, a method that removes the fruit before fermentation and drying — allowing the Ethiopian Landrace's naturally bright, fruit-forward character to come through, building the citrus and stone fruit layering that define this cup.

THE CUP
Bright and zesty — complex layers of citrus and stone fruit throughout, lifted by a floral aroma.

How it works The fruit is removed from the coffee seed. Water and fermentation then help clear away the sticky layer before the seed is dried.

Typical influence Washed coffees are often described as clean and bright, with clear flavours, lively acidity and a crisp finish.

About this variety

This is a mixed or locally selected coffee population rather than one precisely identified variety. Expect the lot’s tasting notes to be more useful than a single variety stereotype.

Why this one is different
  • Ethiopia
  • Yirgacheffe
  • 1950-2200 masl
  • Washed

In Ethiopia, local selection, replanting and farm history can shape a mixed population over many generations.

Washed processing can make acidity and variety character easier to read, although fermentation and drying choices still matter.

A little background

Several plant types may be growing and harvested together, often reflecting a farm or region’s planting history.

Classification Mixed population

Technical lineage The individual plants are not fully separated or identified, so a single genetic lineage would be misleading.

Variety is a guide, not a flavour guarantee. Lot notes are more specific.
