Ethiopia Worka Chelbessa is a classic crisp, sweet Yirgacheffe coffee that balances berry notes, candy sweetness, and a light floral aftertaste. Both exciting and familiar, Worka Chelbessa expresses the quintessential qualities of washed Ethiopian Coffee.
Farmers around the in the Gedeo Zone grow Wolisho and Dega varietals, two distinct landrace varietals from Yirgacheffe region. When the fresh cherry is brought to the Worka Chelbessa washing station operated by Negusse Debela. There the coffee is first pulp fermented for 72 hours before being fully repulsed and washed. A secondary two hour soak is completed and the clean coffee is dried for 10 days. This gives the coffee exceptional clarity and structure to its flavors.
