Ethiopia Chelbesa

This coffee comes fresh from the Gedeb District in southern Ethiopia. Seven hundred small land-owning farmers sold their fruit to a cooperative mill owned by our friends METAD (owners of the famed Hambela farm). While traveling through Addis Ababa earlier this Spring, we stopped at the METAD cupping lab for two days of cupping and sourcing. This specific coffee stood out with its incredible floral sweetness and long black tea finish. It is a perfect coffee for the transition from summer to fall, reminiscent of the fresh flowers turning into fall spice and brown sugars.
