Gedeb Chelbesa comes from Chelbesa in Ethiopia's Gedeb district, at the southern edge of the Gedeo Zone. Although coffees from this area are often grouped under the Yirgacheffe name, Gedeb has a distinct identity shaped by high growing elevations and favourable conditions for expressive fruit and floral profiles.
Monogram sources this washed Ethiopian landrace coffee through Ephtah Specialty Coffee, a women-founded and led exporter headed by Wubit Bekele. During harvest, Ephtah's Chelbesa site employs more than 170 people receiving and processing coffee from nearby communities. The result is a clean, juicy cup with mango, peach and iced-tea notes. This espresso version highlights the clarity, sweetness and refreshing tea-like finish of the washed lot.
