This season, expect elegant notes of apricot, apple, and lemon candy. Delicate chamomile and orange blossom are supported by sweet, silky nougat. Acidity is fresh and well-balanced.

The Chelbesa washing station is located at an altitude of over 2000m. Coffee cherries are collected from 476 small producers, who work the land around the village of Chelbesa. The coffee grows here in semi-forest, under shade trees and close to other food crops, such as bananas. SNAP has installed tiled fermentation tanks and 164 drying beds here: 100 are for washed coffees, 64 for natural coffees.

SNAP Coffee was founded in Addis Ababa in 2008. Operating three washing and processing stations, their work revolves around three key principles: ensuring consistent processing of specialty coffee, sharing essential knowledge and training on processing and cleaning methods to partnering farmers, and implementing waste recycling systems to protect the environment.

In Ethiopia, natural coffees are typically delivered the day they are harvested, and are first sorted for ripeness and quality before they are rinsed clean. The whole cherries are spread on raised drying beds or tables, where they will be rotated constantly throughout the course of drying. Drying can take an average of 8–25 days, depending on the weather.

Lower than expected

Hello,

I ordered a bag of Ehtiopian coffee a few weeks ago (Chelbesa Natural - Yirgachef). Some of the beans look like roasting defects. Please see attached.

The taste was acceptable but the coffee doesn`t seem to be scored 87.5 as per your website.

Très bon torréfacteur

Très bonne marque de café avec très bon service après-vente.

A Surprising Ethiopian Heirloom

For an Ethiopian heirloom, it was lovely & "rich" with quite a low acidity, so it was great as a straight espresso as well as a milk drink.

The balance of flavours was excellent which made it quite straight forward to dial in & enjoy.

CHELBESA NATURAL

good one

generally very good, but still space to improve, refer to the Yirgacheffe ;)
