A silky, floral, deeply fruited washed coffee from one pocket of the country’s vast southern coffee landscape. Approximately 1,000 farmers deliver cherries to the Chelbesa One station. The varieties here are mostly two Ethiopian heirlooms: Kurume and Wolisho. Kurume is known for imparting those high toned florals that sometimes can bend more sinister, while Wolisho is known to contribute both citrus and stone fruit. Touchy Coffee works with multiple importing partners for their selections from Ethiopia, and this one comes from The Coffee Quest, who furthermore partnered with SNAP speciality on the export side in 2024. SNAP manages 7 washing stations across Sidama, Yirgacheffe, Guji, and Gedeo, maintaining three core principles throughout all of its operations: consistency, education, and sustainability. As stated by TCQ themselves, “It is within their purpose to improve the livelihood of supporting farmers, and last year their team of agronomists trained more than 6,000 farmers in land and nursery management, and climate-smart agriculture through crop diversification and intercropping.”
