Three Coffee – Gedeb Chelbesa (Ethiopia) – Espresso

Gedeb Chelbesa comes from one of Ethiopia’s most celebrated coffee regions, known for producing naturally sweet and flavorful lots. This particular lot from Chelbesa is processed as a natural, allowing the coffee’s vibrant fruit and aromatic qualities to shine. The relative youth of the coffee trees and the specific varietals planted contribute to its distinctive sweetness and complexity.

Due to its elevation, the coffee exhibits medium-high natural acidity. Light fermentation during processing enhances sweetness and produces delicate “fruited” aromatics. Subtle fermentation notes appear in the cup as yellow tropical fruit, created by aromatic esters developed during processing. The espresso roast profile highlights these bright, fruit-forward characters, creating a lively and expressive cup.

Three Coffee – Gondo AA Washed (Kenya)

Gondo AA Washed comes from the Gondo Factory Washing Station located at approximately 1900 meters above sea level in the Mathioya area of Muranga County, Kenya. The region is highly competitive, with many washing stations competing to attract farmers. Because Kenya’s traditional auction system rewards higher quality with higher prices, washing stations that consistently produce excellent coffee are able to pay farmers more, encouraging better cherry selection and processing.

This particular lot is processed using a classic Kenyan double-stage washing method. After harvest, the cherries are pulped and soaked in water for around 48 hours, then cleaned and soaked again for an additional 48 to 72 hours before drying. This process minimizes fermentation influence and allows the varietal character and terroir to clearly express themselves in the cup.

Sensory Profile

This coffee shows the trademark vibrancy and sweetness of high-quality washed Kenyan coffees. Expect bright citrus notes combined with white and yellow stone fruits, supported by a sugary sweetness. The cup is clean, juicy, and sweet, with lively acidity and a structured finish.
