High in the mountains of Gedeb, Ethiopia, lies Banko Chelchele—a region where coffee thrives at altitudes up to 2100 masl. Here, 396 smallholder farmers contribute to the Worka Chelchele washing station, producing fully washed coffees that sparkle with floral, citrus, and candy-like clarity. Built in 2021 and operated by Tadesse Desta Import & Export, this modern station blends tradition with innovation, using meticulous processing methods to enhance each bean’s natural character. The result is a cup of stunning balance and vibrancy—Ethiopia’s washed profile at its finest.
