What Five Elephant says about this coffee

Kelloo Lalesa is a washed lot from Lalesa in Gedeb, Gedeo, produced by Alemayehu Tilahun and Origin Land Coffee at Lalesa Washing Station. It comes from cherries delivered by local farmers in the surrounding area and is processed at 2150 masl. The cup is round, balanced, and complex, with baked apple, peach jam, orange, biscuit, jasmine, plum, rosehip, red currant, and black tea in the profile.

Lalesa is known for dense layered semi forest vegetation, with false banana trees and shade grown coffee shaping the growing environment. Alemayehu Tilahun, a native of the Gedeo Zone, built the wet mill in 2018 so he could buy red cherries from nearby farmers, and the station is now vertically integrated with Origin Land Coffee. The Kelloo name is used by the team for coffees that lean toward yellow tropical fruit, florals, peach, and stone fruit, which fits this lot closely.

At the station, cherries are hand sorted, pulped on a traditional Agaarde Disc Pulper, fermented under water for about 72 hours, then graded again in channels before the parchment is soaked and dried on raised beds for roughly 8 to 20 days.

We report what the roaster publishes and we have not checked any of it independently. A fact nobody publishes is not a fault of the coffee: almost no roaster in the UK states an importer or the price paid to the producer.

How it sits among coffee from Ethiopia

How often roasters use each flavour family to describe coffee from Ethiopia: 927 of 2,375 carry notes. The dashed outline is the whole catalogue. These are the roasters’ own words, grouped — not our tasting, and not a measurement.

Five Elephant describe this coffee as fruity, caramel and sweet, citrus, floral. The filled shape is how often roasters use each family across coffee from Ethiopia; the rings on the rim are this coffee’s own.

Every family the roaster names is a common one for coffee from Ethiopia, so this reads as a typical example rather than an outlier.

Tasting notes

A further 2 facts on this page were read from part of the shop page that holds no sentence — a menu or a product grid — so there is nothing to quote for them.

Taken from the roaster’s own pages, and nothing here has been verified by us or by an independent body. What we store is a passage of page text cut around the fact, so one shown with an ellipsis is a passage we cannot see the start or the end of; only the fully quoted ones are complete sentences.
