ABOUT THE BEANS
Chi Chi is a high-altitude Ethiopian coffee grown between 1945 and 1970 metres above sea level in Gedeb. Made up of local varieties Kurmue, Dago and Wolisho, this natural-processed lot is dried on raised beds for up to 21 days after careful hand-sorting of ripe cherries. The result is a sweet, fruit-forward cup with notes of blueberry and soft sponge cake.
ABOUT THE PRODUCER
This coffee comes from the Chelchele washing station in the village of Chelchele, where smallholder farmers deliver ripe cherries for processing. The station operates 12 washing tanks and 360 drying beds, carefully managing sorting and sun-drying to ensure quality. This lot was sourced by Eden, who has been responsible for selecting all of our Ethiopian coffees to date.
ABOUT THE ROASTER
Coborn Coffee was founded to make high-quality, ethically sourced coffee accessible. They exclusively source from named female producers or majority women-owned farms, aiming to support fair pay while keeping great coffee affordable.
More About Chi Chi Ethiopia
Natural (or dry process) coffee is made by drying the beans inside the whole coffee cherry.
After harvesting, the cherries are laid out to dry in the sun. As they dry, the fruit ferments around the bean, infusing it with sugars and flavour before being removed.
What to expect in the cup:
Sweet, fruity flavours, often berry or tropical, with a heavier body and more intensity.
In short:
Bold, juicy, and fruit-forward.
