'Be prepared for big flavour. Juicy blueberries and a lime acidity dominate, and then a hint of grapefruit provides an edge. The whole experience s smoothed out by milk chocolate. Just delicious.'
Here we go again! - this is the coffee that we are best know for and it'll almost certainly be another best-seller. Rocko Mountain has that amazing flavour profile we only really see in natural processed coffee grown in the Yirgacheffe region.
This time, the Chelbesa washing station really delivers. It doesn't matter how you brew your coffee, if fruity bangers are your thing, then look no further. The team here are loving this coffee as espresso, where it is bright and fruity. As filter coffee too, where the slightly bitter finish is both bracing and addictive, perfectly complimenting the wild acidity and big fruit notes. Well rounded, elegant and complex coffee. Enjoy.

Located in the Gedeo zone of the Gedeb district, Chelbesa is one of the finest coffee producing areas within the famous Gedeb Woreda. Known for its dense layered semi-forest vegetation structure encompassing false banana trees as well as shade-grown coffee trees, Chelbesa is a great example of best coffee growing agro-ecology.
SNAP Specialty Coffee built their new wet mill in 2019 in a small hamlet called Danche within the Chelbesa Village with the hope of reaching out to purchasing exclusively red cherries from the nearby farmers in Chelbesa Village. Their ambition became a reality after completion of the project.
The fermentation tanks of the wet mill were built using ceramic which will help bring clarity in the coffee that they process as well as help speed up the fermentation through the heat retained by the ceramic.
This lot has been put together with the production of 495 smallholders farmers delivering their cherries to the mill, in the area the most common type of soil is redbrown, a particularly fertile type, rich in iron and with high acidity content.
