chelchele is a washed ethiopian coffee from the yirgacheffe region, roasted by axil coffee roasters in hawthorn. the washed process strips the fruit before drying, which pulls focus onto the bean itself and produces the clean, bright character this coffee is known for. expect citrus up front, lemon and grapefruit with a bit of zest, a floral jasmine quality, and a softer blueberry note underneath. the finish moves toward milk chocolate, dark chocolate, and almond. it suits brew methods that highlight clarity and acidity, so filter or pour-over will let those citrus and floral elements come through without muddying the cup.
