Grown in the high reaches of Gedeb, this coffee comes from smallholder farmers cultivating local heirloom varieties beneath shade trees.

Ripe cherry is delivered to the Chelbesa washing station, where it is carefully sorted, pulped, fermented without water, and dried slowly on raised beds. The combination of extreme elevation, patient processing, and generations of coffee-growing knowledge produces some of the most compelling coffees in Ethiopia.

This lot was produced in partnership with Ephtah Specialty Coffee, whose work centers on quality-focused processing, sustainable relationships, and direct support for the farming communities surround Chelbesa.
