Ethiopian naturals are always a highlight of our offering, and this one is particularly special. Packing a bold fruity punch, this full-bodied natural is versatile enough for both filter and espresso, black or with milk. Chelbesa truly delivers a vibrant, expressive cup with tropical sweetness and jammy depth.
🌱 Origin Story
Chelbesa is one of the finest coffee-producing areas in the famous Gedeb Woreda. Known for its dense, layered semi-forest vegetation — including false banana plants and shade-grown coffee trees — the region exemplifies outstanding agro-ecology. Its soil is exceptionally fertile: iron-rich, red-brown, and naturally high in acidity.
In 2019, SNAP Specialty Coffee built a new wet mill in the small hamlet of Danche, within the wider Chelbesa village. Their goal was to exclusively purchase ripe red cherries from local farmers, which quickly became a reality. The mill's ceramic fermentation tanks help improve flavour clarity and retain heat to speed up fermentation, creating consistently expressive coffees.
This lot represents the work of 495 smallholder farmers delivering ripe cherries to the mill. After flotation sorting to remove under-ripe cherries, clean cherries are dried on raised African beds for 28 to 35 days, developing concentrated fruit character and sweetness.
