Chelchele Washing Station
The Chelchele washing and dry processing site is named after the village of Chelchele, where it processes coffee grown at elevations ranging from 1900 to 2100 metres. The site itself is located at 2000 metres elevation and features well-developed infrastructure, including 14 standard fermentation and washing tanks, 130-150 drying beds, and two water tanks with a capacity of 90,000 litres each. The coffee varieties are intercropped with Enset, beans and avocado trees in the region's red-brown fertile soil. The site includes a 30 by 16-metre warehouse for dry coffee preparation.
Harvest & Post-Harvest
Chelchele processes coffee using both natural and washed methods, with local smallholders delivering ripe cherries to the site. The area has an average yearly temperature of 15.5 to 17.8 degrees Celsius and gets enough rain, about 1404 mm each year, with rain falling evenly throughout.
We selected this natural from the home of coffee for its delicious deep fruit flavours of blueberry with an almost cordial-like sweetness. You can also expect creamy nutty notes of Praline and hints of Jasmine.
