This coffee comes from smallholders in the Chelchele area, part of the Gedeb district in southern Gedeo Zone, where some of Ethiopia’s most complex and aromatic naturals come from year after year. Gedeb is a unique area dense with coffee growers and processors. The coffee was processed at a central site in Banko Chelchele, one of the district’s most prolific coffee areas.
This co-ferment involves an anaerobic fermentation with lemongrass from the surrounding shores of Lake Hawasa, The quality of cherry, the attention to detail in the fermentation process, and the fresh lemongrass come together to make a coffee that is more than the sum of it’s parts.
