Origin and Terroir
Worka Chelbesa, nestled in the Gedeb woreda of the Gedeo zone, is renowned for its dense semi-forest vegetation, including ensete trees and other shade plants, providing ideal conditions for shade-grown coffee. The area's unique agroforestry system, recognized by UNESCO, supports biodiversity and sustainable farming practices.
Processing Excellence
The Chelbesa Natural is processed at a wet mill operated by Negusse Debela, who manages two sites in Worka Chelbesa, including one in the Danche sub-area. Negusse's commitment to quality is evident in his processing methods, which include Natural, Washed, and unique experimental lots. For the Natural process, only the ripest coffee cherries are harvested and dried whole on raised beds, a meticulous method that can take up to four weeks. This careful processing enhances the coffee's inherent flavors and ensures a clean, vibrant cup.
Flavor Profile
Ethiopia Chelbesa Natural offers a delightful sensory experience. Expect bright and fruity notes, with tasting notes of blackberry, mandarin orange, and tropical fruit. The cup is characterized by its juicy acidity and a syrupy mouthfeel, making it a standout choice for those who appreciate complex, fruit-forward coffees.
Varietals and Farming Practices
Varietals and Farming Practices
The coffee is primarily composed of Wolisho and Dega varieties, landrace varietals from the Yirgacheffe region. These are grown by smallholder farmers who often manage farms of fewer than three hectares. The cherries are manually harvested and hand-sorted before processing, reflecting the farmers' dedication to quality.
