Chelbasa One | Washed Ethiopia
This lot comes from the Chelbasa One Washing Station in the Gedeb Zone, Ethiopia, managed by SNAP Specialty Coffee. Approximately 1,000 smallholder farmers contribute cherries from 2–3 hectare plots at elevations between 1,950 and 2,200 meters. The lot consists of Ethiopian Heirloom varieties Korume and Wolisho, carefully sorted, depulped, and fermented for 2–3 days before being washed and dried on raised beds for 7–10 days — all closely monitored to ensure clarity, consistency, and vibrant character.
