chelbesa is a washed ethiopian coffee from tandem coffee roasters. the washed process strips the fruit before drying, which tends to produce a cleaner, brighter cup, and that shows here: expect a sharp grapefruit acidity up front, softening into peach and stone fruit sweetness, with a winey finish and a dry, tea-like quality that lingers. it suits brewing methods that highlight clarity and acidity, so a pour-over or aeropress will let those lighter, more delicate flavors come through without muddying them.

common questions

What does Chelbesa - Ethiopia taste like?

it leads with grapefruit brightness and stone fruit, particularly peach, then moves into a winey quality and finishes with a dry, black tea character that makes it feel light and clean in the cup.

How is Chelbesa - Ethiopia grown and processed?

it's an ethiopian coffee processed using the washed method, meaning the fruit is removed before the beans are dried, which tends to produce a cleaner, more acidic profile compared to natural or honey-processed coffees.

How should I brew Chelbesa - Ethiopia?

brewing methods that favor clarity, such as a pour-over or aeropress, will best highlight the grapefruit acidity, stone fruit sweetness, and tea-like finish without flattening the more delicate flavors.

about tandem coffee roasters

you can taste the deliberateness in every cup tandem puts out. this portland roaster has built something quietly essential on washington avenue, the kind of place where the coffee does the talking. their work with hawaiian estate beans, particularly from the kona belt, shows up in the cup as something almost buttery, warm stone and soft fruit underneath, nothing sharp or aggressive. tandem means two things moving together. here, that's the farmer and the roaster, and you feel that partnership in every sip.
