What Manhattan Coffee Roasters says about this coffee

This is a coffee we have been anticipating since we tasted the sample on our cupping table – just in time for the second half of summer!

This washed Ethiopian comes from the Yirgacheffe region where the Chelbesa Washing Station is located. It is produced by 672 farmers situated in the Gedeb zone.

Once the cherries arrive at the Chelbesa One Washing Station, they are placed in water for sorting and removing of floaters. The cherries are then de-pulped and left to dry ferment in tanks for 2-3 days, to be later washed and placed to dry on raised beds. To ensure an even drying, the parchment is constantly moved each day, taking 7-10 days, depending on the weather, until reaching the desired humidity.

Expect notes of lime, honey and bergamot with a juicy mouthfeel!

Available for both filter and espresso!

country, farm or estate, producer, variety, altitude, harvest, lot, importer, price paid to the producer

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 washed coffees

How often roasters use each flavour family to describe washed coffees: 3,199 of 5,945 carry notes. The dashed outline is the whole catalogue. These are the roasters’ own words, grouped — not our tasting, and not a measurement.

Manhattan Coffee Roasters describe this coffee as caramel and sweet, citrus. The filled shape is how often roasters use each family across washed coffees; the rings on the rim are this coffee’s own.

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

A further 1 fact on this page was read from part of the shop page that holds no sentence — a menu or a product grid — so there is nothing to quote for it.

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.
