Ethiopia Yirgacheffe Chelbesa

Experience a True Ethiopian Heirloom: "Ethiopia's Gift to the World."

Journey to the lush, high-altitude forests of Yirgacheffe, the region many consider the true origin of Arabica coffee. Our Chelbesa single origin is a stunning representation of this legendary terroir, a coffee steeped in history and perfected over generations. In Ethiopia, coffee is not just a crop; it's a central part of daily life, celebrated through traditional coffee ceremonies that honour its significance.

The Yirgacheffe region pioneered the washed processing method in Ethiopia over five decades ago. This expertise is evident in every cup of Chelbesa, which offers the pristine clarity and vibrant flavour that has made these coffees famous worldwide.

We roast this exceptional bean to a City profile, a delicate light-medium roast designed to preserve its complex aromatics and bright, lively character. This is a coffee that tells a story.
