Chelbesa Natural

Summary

Chelbesa Natural is an Ethiopian coffee from the Gedeb area, produced at the Chelbesa washing station, one of the first established by SNAP Coffee. Around 600 smallholder farmers cultivate local varieties Welisho and Dega at 1,900–2,100 masl in a landscape of lush forest, red fertile soil and a cool highland climate. Ripe cherries are hand-picked, pulped and fermented for about 72 hours before washing, density sorting and slow drying on raised African beds. The cup is clear and clean with deep sweetness and a floral character, showing tropical, mango, cantaloupe and citrus notes.
