Banko Chelchele - Anaerobic Natural Ethiopia

Banko Chelchele, located in the Gedeo Zone's Gedeb woreda of Ethiopia’s Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples' Region (SNNPR), is renowned for producing some of the world’s finest coffee. The region’s ideal altitude, fertile soil, and perfect climate all work in harmony to grow exceptional beans that are highly sought after. This area’s reputation for top-tier coffee is further enhanced by the deep connection the community has to the land and generations of expertise in coffee cultivation.

For the people of Chelchele, coffee is an integral part of their culture and livelihood. Coffee farming provides the primary source of income for many families, and during harvest season, the entire community comes together to handpick the cherries. This shared effort fosters a sense of unity and pride, as the community celebrates their rich coffee heritage with every harvest.

This coffee is the epitome of an exceptional anaerobic natural. It offers a remarkable intensity of fruity sweetness without the overwhelming funk often found in other anaerobic naturals. In the cup, you'll experience a vibrant fruity sweetness reminiscent of blueberries, balanced by a rich, syrupy body. If you're seeking something different, this is it.
