The story

Lightly roasted, this organic Yirgacheffe from Chelchele’s Washing Station pours a bright, fruit‑forward cup. High‑altitude beans reveal stone‑fruit sweetness, a touch of cane sugar, and a splash of blood orange that keeps the acidity lively. A gentle black‑tea undertone rounds out the bright, clean finish.

The beans come from the mountainous region of Yirgacheffe, grown between 1,900 and 2,300 meters above sea level. They are harvested between November and January, then processed naturally so the fruit dries around the beans, concentrating the sugars and flavors. The result is a light‑bodied coffee with bright acidity, bright stone‑fruit and citrus notes, a subtle cane‑sugar sweetness, and a hint of black tea that gives the cup a clean, polished finish. The organic certification and careful handling from farm to cup keep the origin’s character sharp and true.
