Organic Yirgacheffe Chelchele Natural

Nestled in the heart of the Yirgacheffe region at altitudes ranging from 1900 – 2200 meters above sea level, the village of Chelchele is renowned for its exceptional quality and unique flavor profile. Here, coffee trees flourish under the shade of Enset, Albizia, Acacia, Militia, and Polyscias trees and thrive in the fertile, clay-rich soil. This new offering from Azeb Tadesse Coffee Supply was cultivated by smallholders and plantation farms using organic practices.

Natural Process Ethiopian Coffee

Post harvest, the coffee was processed using the Natural (dry) method at the Chelchele Coffee Station. Here, coffee cherries are meticulously hand-sorted to ensure only the ripest are selected. After sorting, the cherries are sun-dried on raised beds. This drying process takes between 12 to 15 days, depending on weather conditions, until the beans reach a moisture content of 10-12%.
