chelbesa is a honey-processed ethiopian coffee from fuglen coffee roasters. honey processing means the cherry skin is removed but some mucilage is left on the bean during drying, which pulls sweetness and fruit intensity into the cup. expect red apple, stone fruit, and peach up front, with honeycomb sweetness and a clean black tea finish that keeps things from feeling heavy. because the flavours are delicate and layered, filter brewing, whether pour-over or batch, will separate them more clearly than espresso. use water around 92-94c and a medium-fine grind to avoid muddying the tea-like clarity this coffee is built around.
