chelbesa one is a single-origin filter coffee from the yirgacheffe region of ethiopia, roasted by ilse coffee. yirgacheffe is one of ethiopia's most celebrated coffee-growing areas, known for producing cups with distinct floral and citrus character. this coffee delivers bright lemon and grapefruit acidity alongside citrus zest, stone fruit, and peach sweetness, with jasmine and broader floral aromatics running through. it suits filter brewing methods, where lower brewing temperatures and slower extraction preserve the delicate florals and keep the citrus clarity clean without tipping into sharpness. grind medium-fine and use water around 90-93°c for best results.
