This coffee is a single-origin offering from the Banko Chelchele processing station in the Gedeb region of Ethiopia. Grown at an altitude of 1900–2000 meters, this Heirloom variety coffee is processed using a 'Super Natural' method, where cherries are sun-dried on terraces for 3–6 weeks. The high elevation of the region contributes to an intensely aromatic, perfume-like profile. The coffee undergoes rigorous sorting and handpicking to ensure high quality.
Founded in 2020 by Tong Zhang in Chengdu, this micro-specialty roastery emerged from an unexpected journey—a robotics engineer's transformation into coffee artisan after discovering specialty coffee in Paris. Zhang, who placed third in the French Brewers Cup in his first year as a barista, brings technical precision to every roast, using Stronghold S7Pro machines to highlight the unique terroir of each coffee through light profiles that express origin, climate, soil, and the people behind each bean.
