Washed processed Ethiopian coffees have a reputation for defining the gold standard for specialty coffee. A distinctive, sublime yet intense flavor profile, carried by noble, tea-like florality and crisp, fruity citric acidity, combines to create a very elegant cup of coffee. This Gedeo Zone coffee also impresses us in comparison with excellent clarity and balance.
The Chelbesa Washing Station is managed by the Ethiopian coffee production company SNAP. Located at 2100 meters above sea level, it is the most important of two stations the company operates in the Gedeo Zone. Covering an area of 1240 hectares, the Washing station buys coffee cherries from around 615 local coffee producers, whose farms are generally 0.5 to 2 hectares in size and are located between 1925 and 2110 meters above sea level. Due to the strategic location of the station, the delivery time for the harvested coffee cherries is minimal, averaging less than 40 minutes. Station Manager Girum Assefa oversees the operation and ensures efficient coffee processing.
All our coffees are traceable back to the farm. We work exclusively with importers who share our values. Only ecologically, economically and socially sustainable coffee enters our roaster.
We always buy our coffee seasonally. Our range changes several times a month to always roast the freshest beans. We want each coffee to highlight the specificity of its terroir.
Roasting is a craft and that's how we practice it. Our roasting team around the German Roastmaster of 2018, Kilian Seger, invests a lot of time in profile development and quality control.
