About This Coffee

This Ethiopia Chelchele is a classic Yirgacheffe coffee sourced from the Banko Chelchele washing station in Gedeb. Grown at high altitudes between 1,900 and 2,200 meters, this heirloom variety coffee is processed using a washed method, including 36–48 hours of fermentation. It offers a delicate, honey-sweet, and clean cup profile. Tasting notes include crisp green melon, Asian pear, apricot tea, cherry blossom, and a subtle hoppy floral character. This light roast is noted for its vibrant acidity and lifted sweetness.

Color Coffee Roasters

Color Coffee Roasters is the brainchild of Charlie Gundlach, who turned his backyard roasting obsession into a legit operation in Eagle, Colorado, back in 2016. They’re pretty geeky about the science, hence the name Color, which links specific tasting notes to actual colors in a spectrum. Yet, they keep the vibe super chill and approachable for everyone while hunting for that perfect sweet spot on their energy-efficient Loring roaster to let the natural terroir really pop. Plus, they’re big on sustainability and transparency, so you can feel good about drinking a cup that’s as kind to the planet as it is tasty.
