The Ultimate Yirgacheffe Experience
Sourced from the renowned Chelbesa village in the Gedeb district of Yirgacheffe, this exceptional Ethiopian coffee represents the pinnacle of innovative processing. Grown at soaring elevations between 2,000 and 2,200 MASL, these heirloom varieties (including Wolisho and Kurume) thrive under a dense semi-forest canopy. Expertly roasted for filter brewing, this coffee is crafted to highlight the unparalleled clarity, boozy sweetness, and complex fruit structures that Gedeb coffees are famous for.
In the Cup: Vibrant Tropical Fruits & Rich Chocolate
Anaerobic naturals from Chelbesa are celebrated for their intensely sweet and syrupy profiles. In the cup, expect a heavy, juicy burst of tropical fruit, and peach. As the coffee cools, delicate floral aromatics emerge, perfectly balanced by a decadent, lingering finish of dark chocolate fudge and cola.
The Craft: Anaerobic Natural Fermentation
What makes this lot truly spectacular is the meticulous processing at the Chelbesa Washing Station. The ripest cherries are hand-selected by local smallholder farmers and placed into sealed, oxygen-free tanks for an extended anaerobic fermentation (typically 72 to 96 hours). This highly controlled environment amplifies the natural sugars and creates complex lactic acids, resulting in a heavier body, vivid fruitiness, and a clean, wine-like acidity. After fermentation, the cherries are slowly dried on raised African beds to lock in the flavor.

Frequently asked questions
For the love of coffee, we want to provide you with fresh and high quality specialty coffee.
We roast fresh coffee beans in batches every week in our roaster factory in Melbourne, Australia.
Your order is typically roasted, packaged and shipped within 24-48 hours to ensure it arrives at its peak flavour. You'll always find the roast date printed on the bag.
Great question!
- Espresso roasts are developed a bit longer to reduce acidity and increase body, making them perfect for pulling rich, balanced shots on an espresso machine. Suitable for long black, milk coffee or drinking in shots.
- Filter roasts are typically lighter, which highlights the delicate, complex, and aromatic flavours of the coffee, ideal for methods like pour-over, V60, or Aeropress.
For maximum freshness, store your beans in the original resealable bag in a cool, dark, and dry place like a pantry and consume it within 30 days for best tasting.
We recommend avoiding the refrigerator or freezer, as moisture and odours can negatively affect the coffee's taste.
Welcome! A great place to start is with one of our V5 signature blends, like seasonal blend or fairy dust blend. They are crowd-pleasers, balanced and delicious with or without milk.
