## What the Brand Says

> This is a coffee we have been anticipating since we tasted the sample on our cupping table – just in time for the second half of summer! This washed Ethiopian comes from the Yirgacheffe region where the Chelbesa Washing Station is located. It is produced by 672 farmers situated in the Gedeb zone. Once the cherries arrive at the Chelbesa One Washing Station, they are placed in water for sorting and removing of floaters. The cherries are then de-pulped and left to dry ferment in tanks for 2-3 days, to be later washed and placed to dry on raised beds. To ensure an even drying, the parchment is constantly moved each day, taking 7-10 days, depending on the weather, until reaching the desired humidity. Expect notes of lime, honey and bergamot with a juicy mouthfeel! Available for both filter and espresso!
