Samii Chelbesa #2 - Ethiopia Espresso

Coffees from Ethiopia are famous for being super fruity, and this coffee from Girum Assefa delivers on the promise – it's blown us away! It’s a washed coffee with notes of caramel fudge, white peach and guava. This part of the lot is an espresso roast, but you can try it as a filter too. 

About the coffee 

The cherries are picked and sorted by hand. After pulping, they spend up to 72 hours in a tank to ferment and loosen the mucilage. Next, they head to canals to be washed, where they are also sorted in the water by their density – the lower the density, the lower the quality. The floaters are therefore of a lower quality, so they are separated from their denser, tastier colleagues. 

The beans are then dried, packed into jute sacks and shipped to us in Berlin, where we carefully roast them before you can get your hands on them! 

About the farm 

This lot comes from Chelbesa, the biggest coffee growing region in Gedeb Woreda, Ethiopia, with a total of 1240 hectares of coffee farms.
