History

Gedeb Chelbesa Washed Organic is named for the kebele, or village, where the coffee is harvested. The growers from the Chelbesa kebele bring their cherries to METAD’s Gedeb Halo Beriti washing station in Gedeb, Yirgacheffe for further processing.

Chelbesa is a coffee with a really pleasant and sweet character. We’re experiencing delightful citrusy and black tea notes in the cup with floral aromas. This is the first time that we’re working together with the farmers from the village of Chelbesa, and we’re really excited to sharing their coffee with all of you!

This coffee from the Chelbesa kebele is grown at an elevation between 1950 and 2200 meters. It is a Washed process coffee, pulped using Penagos eco-pulpers and dried on raised beds. An Organic coffee, METAD has certified not only its own farms and processing plants but also the farms of those participating in the out-grower’s program.

We have decided to roast this coffee as an omni-roast, which means it can be equally enjoyed as espresso and filter coffee.
