This lot comes from Chelbesa, in Gedeb, one of Ethiopia's most celebrated coffee areas. At around 2,200 metres, local smallholders grow heirloom varieties under shade, often alongside enset, the “false banana” that is a staple crop in the region, and deliver ripe cherry to the washing station during the December–January harvest. The station is run by Ephtah Specialty Coffee, which pays farmers promptly, rewards quality with premiums and champions the role of women in coffee. The best cherries are selected and floated, pulped and fermented in tanks without water, then dried on raised beds for 10 to 15 days. A clean, floral cup of apricot, mango, orange blossom, honey and black tea.
