Chelbessa is an Ethiopian coffee from Gedeb (Gedeo), grown at 1,950–2,200 meters. The lot consists of Ethiopian heirloom varieties including Korume and Wolisho. Cherries are depulped, dry-fermented in tanks for 2–3 days, then washed and dried on raised beds for 7–10 days. Tasting notes highlight strawberry, nectarine, citrus, passion fruit, moon grape, floral and candied fruit qualities with a rounded, tea-like character and bright, multi-dimensional acidity.

Flower Child Coffee
Prestin Yoder founded Flower Child as a small roasting and green buying project after years working in specialty coffee. The operation runs out of Oakland, focusing on limited releases rather than a permanent lineup. Yoder roasts light but fully developed targeting clarity, and sources directly from farmers. The emphasis on farmer compensation and ongoing dialogue with producing partners shapes both the selection and the pricing. Coffees are curated for cleanliness, vibrancy, and origin expression, with lots from Ethiopia, Kenya, Burundi, Colombia, or Ecuador appearing frequently.
