Producer Profile
Chelbesa One Station is located in the Gedeb Zone, Ethiopia, which is managed by SNAP Specialty Coffee. The approximately 1,000 farmers who deliver cherry to this washing station come from the region and have between 2 and 3 ha of land sitting at an elevation of between 1,950 - 2,200 masl. SNAP focuses its operation on three fundamental pillars: consistency, education, and sustainability. Part of their mission is to improve the livelihood of supporting farmers, and last year their team of agronomists trained over 6,000 farmers in land and nursery management, and climate-smart agriculture through crop diversification and inter-cropping.
Brewing Chelbesa One
Recommended Use: FILTER
Where to Grind: Start at a coarse setting within our recommended grind range*
*Refer to our Grind & Brew Guide for recipes and grind setting ranges tailored to specific grinders and brewers.
For best results we recommend resting your filter coffee for two to three weeks post-roast before brewing.
Gedeb
Gedeb is one of four coffee growing woredas (districts) in the Gedeo zone, which also includes the famous Yirgacheffe woreda. As in other Ethiopian regions, farm sizes here are very small, and they are planted mostly with JARC varieties.
Kurume & Wolisho
Kurume & Wolisho are JARC (Jimma Agricultural Research Centre) varieties. JARC developed these varieties in response to a devastating wave of Coffee Berry Disease (CBD) in the 1960s. These varieties were bred to be resistant to CBD.
Washed
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.
