From Origin to Cup
Peachy Daze comes from the Chelbesa washing station in Gedeb, in the Gedeo zone of southern Ethiopia, where SNAP Specialty Coffee runs the mill. Lana and Tetsuya from our team visited it in January, during a week of station visits across Yirga Chefe, Gedeb, Hambella and Sidama with our friends at Nordic Approach. The lot is a Ethiopian heirloom, and it is fully washed, which keeps the cup clear and lets the white peach, lemon and black tea come through one after the other. We roast it for filter and for espresso.
Origin
Chelbesa sits in Gedeb, in the Gedeo zone, and this lot grows at 2173 masl. At that altitude the cherries ripen slowly, which gives them time to build sugar and a bright, clean acidity.
Varietal
Heirloom is the name for the many native varieties that grow across Ethiopia, often side by side on the same farm.
Processing
In a washed process the ripe cherries are pulped to remove the skin and most of the fruit, then left to ferment until the sticky layer around the seed comes away, and finally washed clean and dried. Taking the fruit off early keeps the flavours precise, and that is where the tea-like clarity of this cup comes from.
Intervention level
Low. It is a classic washed lot, so the varieties, the altitude and careful processing at the station are what shape the cup.
