This coffee comes from the village of Banko Chelchele in Gedeb, Southern Ethiopia, within the renowned Yirgacheffe coffee-growing region. It is exported by EDN, an Ethiopian specialty coffee company recognized for its close partnerships with smallholder farmers and its commitment to producing high-quality, fully traceable coffees. Farming in the area is deeply rooted in local knowledge, family traditions, and community-based harvesting practices.

The Chelchele washing station has developed a "Super Natural Process" that emphasizes the best qualities of naturally processed Ethiopian coffee. During the harvest season, coffee cherries are hand-picked with careful attention to ripeness and quality. Only carefully selected cherries are placed in sealed, oxygen-free tanks, where they undergo controlled fermentation for approximately 36 to 48 hours. Then coffee cherries are slowly dried for around 27 to 30 days. This method is designed to extend the drying process, allowing gradual chemical changes to occur within the beans before milling and preparation for export.

Huabal é um distrito da província de Jaén, em Cajamarca, e tem um potencial significativo para produzir café de alta qualidade. Abrangendo várias cadeias de montanhas, Huabal apresenta uma variação considerável no clima e na composição do solo. Algumas áreas apresentam condições húmidas e molhadas com solos vermelhos de tipo africano, enquanto outras são mais secas e quentes. Esta diversidade contribui para perfis de chávena complexos e distintos.

Este lote é uma mistura de vários produtores do distrito de Huabal, onde o tamanho médio das quintas é de aproximadamente 1,5 hectares. Os produtores desta área colhem e processam o seu café de forma independente, normalmente secando-o em pátios forrados. Após a colheita, o café repousa durante 24 horas antes de ser despolpado e fermentado durante 36 horas. Em seguida, é seco durante 10 a 15 dias até atingir o nível de humidade ideal.

This lot comes from Chelbesa in the Gedeb woreda and was processed at an Ephtah-operated washing station. Grown under shade alongside enset (false banana), the coffee is produced by smallholder farmers cultivating local heirloom varieties and harvested from December to January.

At Chelbesa, the best cherries are selected and floated before processing. For this lot, the coffee is pulped and then fermented in tanks without water. After fermentation, the coffee is dried on raised beds for around 10 to 15 days.
