Chelchele pineapple. Cafe de Etiopia

About This Coffee

This Ethiopian coffee is from the Chelchele farm in Gedeb Woreda, Gedeo Zone, Yirgacheffe region, grown at 1,900-2,300 meters altitude. Produced by EDN (Ethiopian Coffee), it features varieties 74110 and 74112. The coffee undergoes an innovative Natural Anaerobic Pineapple processing method, where ripe cherries are fermented for 10 days at 15-18°C in sealed tanks with fresh pineapple, creating an oxygen-free environment. After fermentation, cherries are dried on raised beds for up to 28 days with regular turning. The flavor profile features pineapple, stone fruit, lime, and floral notes. The coffee is harvested by hand from small family farms and reflects the community's strong coffee-growing tradition.
