ETHIOPIA CHELBESA WASHED 1KG

The Chelbesa washing station is located in the Gedeb district, in the southern part of the renowned Yirgacheffe region - one of Ethiopia’s most celebrated origins for floral, elegant and expressive coffees. Positioned above 2,100 metres and surrounded by fertile, nutrient-rich soils, the station benefits from excellent conditions for cultivating dense and aromatic coffee cherries.

More than 670 smallholder farmers from the surrounding communities contribute to this lot. On their small plots, they cultivate local Heirloom varieties that have adapted over generations to the region’s particular climate and landscape. Coffee is commonly grown alongside other crops, supporting both agricultural diversity and the livelihoods of farming families throughout the year.

Once delivered to the Chelbesa station, the cherries are sorted and floated to remove underripe or lower-density fruit. The coffee is then depulped, before undergoing a controlled fermentation of approximately two to three days to remove the remaining mucilage. The parchment is thoroughly washed, soaked for around 12 hours and slowly dried on raised African beds for 7–10 days. Throughout this stage, it is regularly turned and carefully sorted to promote even drying and consistent quality.

Chelbesa is part of the SNAP Specialty Coffee network, an Ethiopian company established in Addis Ababa in 2008. Through its washing stations, SNAP supports thousands of farmers with training, planting materials and resources designed to improve coffee cultivation and processing. Rigorous cherry selection and close attention throughout production contribute to the traceability and consistency of the coffees produced here.

The result is a clean and refined expression of the classic Yirgacheffe profile: a bright, delicate and aromatic coffee with notes of apricot, jasmine, white peach and lavender.

How long does it take for my order to be processed and delivered?

We process orders within 2–4 business days, depending on workload. On the first business day after the weekend, we process all orders received on holidays. Delivery in Romania is then made in approximately 24–48 hours, depending on the courier and location.

Where does the coffee you roast come from?

Our coffee comes from sustainable farms, carefully selected from various producing regions. We visit at least two different origins each year, where we get to know the farmers personally and see first-hand the processing methods. This way, we ensure that each batch meets our quality and traceability standards.

Can I return the coffee?

For hygiene and food safety reasons, we cannot accept returns for coffee packages.

Why does my coffee taste different from one order to another?

Specialty coffee is a natural product. The flavor may vary slightly depending on the harvest, growing conditions, and roast profile chosen for that batch, but we promise to always maintain our standards of quality and freshness.
