While coffee grown in Ethiopia’s Gedeo Zone has traditionally been classified as “Yirgacheffe” because of the most popular district in the region, this coffee is actually produced by smallholders near Chelechele in the district of Gedeb. Gedeb is one of the highest altitude growing regions in the world and this coffee is a beautiful example of the local terroir and intense flavors associated with the region. We opted to roast this coffee light to preserve and highlight it’s wonderful, berry like sweetness and the incredible flavors that can be found.
