Most plots run 0.5 to 2 hectares and sit between 1,925 and 2,300 metres above sea level. Farmers pick ripe cherry by hand and deliver it to the local washing station the same day. The station ferments, washes and dries the coffee on raised beds, with hand sorting at every stage. SNAP Specialty Coffee, founded by Negusse Debela in 2008, exports the lot. It cupped at 87 points.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch4 class=\"mb-1 font-weight-bold\"\u003eRegion\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"col-md-6\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eGedeb sits inside the Yirgacheffe growing area, the source of Ethiopia's most famous washed coffees. Dense semi-forest covers the hills around Chelbesa. Ensete and native shade trees slow cherry ripening, which builds sugar and density in the bean. Chelbesa lots now rank among the most sought-after in Yirgacheffe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch4 class=\"mb-1 font-weight-bold\"\u003eAbout the Heirloom Variety\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"col-md-6\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe heirloom label here covers Wolisho and Dega, two landrace varieties native to the Gedeo highlands. Landraces developed from wild coffee populations over centuries and adapted to local soil, altitude and rainfall. Farmers grow them with few inputs because the plants suit the place they came from.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRoasters seek out Yirgacheffe landraces for clarity in the cup. Small dense beans, slow maturation at high altitude and careful washed processing produce the citrus and floral character that built Yirgacheffe's name.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this lot you get stone fruit, citrus and black tea. The cup is vibrant and clean, and it suits your filter brews at home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Central Coast Coffee","offers":[{"title":"Upcoming Roast \/ 320g","offer_id":51023983575076,"sku":"ETH-CHLB-HEIR-WSH-G1_320","price":28.5,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Upcoming Roast \/ 1000g","offer_id":51023983607844,"sku":"ETH-CHLB-HEIR-WSH-G1_1000","price":75.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"PLACEHOLDER 1 \/ 320g","offer_id":51023983640612,"sku":"r1_ETH-CHLB-HEIR-WSH-G1_320","price":28.5,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"PLACEHOLDER 1 \/ 1000g","offer_id":51023983673380,"sku":"r1_ETH-CHLB-HEIR-WSH-G1_1000","price":75.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"PLACEHOLDER 2 \/ 320g","offer_id":51023983706148,"sku":"r2_ETH-CHLB-HEIR-WSH-G1_320","price":28.5,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"PLACEHOLDER 2 \/ 1000g","offer_id":51023983738916,"sku":"r2_ETH-CHLB-HEIR-WSH-G1_1000","price":75.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"PLACEHOLDER 3 \/ 320g","offer_id":51023983771684,"sku":"r3_ETH-CHLB-HEIR-WSH-G1_320","price":28.5,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"PLACEHOLDER 3 \/ 1000g","offer_id":51023983804452,"sku":"r3_ETH-CHLB-HEIR-WSH-G1_1000","price":75.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"PLACEHOLDER 4 \/ 320g","offer_id":51023983837220,"sku":"r4_ETH-CHLB-HEIR-WSH-G1_320","price":28.5,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"PLACEHOLDER 4 \/ 1000g","offer_id":51023983869988,"sku":"r4_ETH-CHLB-HEIR-WSH-G1_1000","price":75.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0109\/4175\/9552\/files\/IMG_2998.jpg?v=1783172917","url":"https:\/\/www.centralcoastcoffee.com.au\/products\/ethiopia-yirgacheffe-chelbesa-heirloom-washed-grade-1","provider":"Central Coast Coffee","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
