Product Details


Ethiopia Yirgacheffe Chelchele

Nestled in the Gedeo Zone just south of Yirgacheffe, Gedeb boasts a coffee profile that earns it the moniker "Yirgacheffe" for its flavour similarities to its neighbouring beans.
The majority of coffee varieties gown in Gedeb fall under the JARC coffee varieties (74110,74158,74112) and local varieties Heirloom (Weleshu, Kudume, Dega), with the district being a hub for coffee farming families renowned for their top-quality produce. Small-scale farmers in Gedeb typically operate on plots of land measuring less than 5 hectares, often gauging their coffee farms by tree count rather than area. This region's traditional cultivation methods reign supreme, with coffee plants coexisting in integrated garden settings alongside other food crops. Many farms in Gedeb also maintain an organic approach by default.
The coffee is hand picked before processing at the Chelbesa wet mill. Ripe cherries are meticulously processed through steps, including fermenting for 36-72 hours in concrete tanks, defect removal, grading, and sun-drying on raised African beds. The coffee beans are carefully shaded during the peak sun hours and regularly rotated to ensure uniform drying; a process that takes approximately 8-12 days until the beans reach an optimal moisture content of 11.5%

This region is renowned for producing some of the finest coffee’s available anywhere, this coffee is no exception
