This Ethiopia Chelchele coffee is sourced from the Banko Chelchele area in the Gedeb district of the Gedeo zone. Grown at an altitude between 1,945 and 1,970 meters, this coffee consists of indigenous landraces and local heirloom cultivars. It undergoes a fully washed processing method, where cherries are depulped, fermented, and dried on raised beds for approximately 18 days. The resulting cup features a medium body and medium acidity, with distinct flavor notes of candied peach, yellow florals, and Earl Grey tea.

Black Cup Cafe Del Mundo traces its roots to 1975, when Perry Merkel began roasting on a small air roaster in his shed in Anchorage's Spenard neighbourhood, making it Alaska's first coffee roaster. The business was acquired in 2011 by Brad Bigelow and Tim Gravel of Kaladi Brothers Coffee, who rebranded it as Black Cup and renovated the space on East Benson Boulevard. The roasting facility on Brayton Drive in Anchorage continues a legacy of over 50 years of continuous operation, with the team evaluating countless coffee samples from worldwide producers and emphasising transparency with farm partners. The café features a Modbar espresso system installed during the 2016 renovation.
