Rob says: Last year, we rated this beauty as a 90+ cupping coffee — and this year, it’s delivering once again. Our award-winning CHELBESA returns with all of the brilliance we fell in love with. More of the same? Yes, please.

The Chelbesa station unequivocally stands out as our best loved coffee washing station on Earth. Local farmers here prioritize allowing the coffee cherries to fully ripen before harvesting, as they understand this enhances the sweetness of the beans. Additionally, they hold the belief that divine guidance dictates the precise moment for picking. These dedicated farmers are willing to trek up to two hours on their horses to deliver their cherries to the washing station. Girum Assefa diligently oversees the management and processing of these exceptional coffees at this location.
