Worka Chelbessa

Single Origin Ethiopia 

Deep in the southern Gedeo region, where the legendary Worka Chelbessa meets the small village of Danche, coffee entrepreneur Neguesse Debela has created something extraordinary. This isn't just coffee – it's a testament to tradition meeting innovation in one of Ethiopia's most celebrated terroirs.

Each sip tells the story of meticulous craftsmanship at the Danche washing station. Using Ethiopia's traditional underwater fermentation method, coffee is fully submerged for 36-48 hours, allowing unique flavors to develop before drying on raised beds for up to 14 days. The result is exceptional: bright tropical notes that dance with juicy mango and papaya sweetness, creating a profile that's both classically Ethiopian and distinctively unique. This is coffee at its most adventurous, where ancient techniques meet modern precision.

For the pour-over connoisseur seeking something special, this limited batch represents the best of Worka Chelbessa's renowned terroir. From an area that's gained global recognition for exceptional coffees, and crafted by a family dedicated to pushing quality boundaries, it's a rare opportunity to experience Ethiopian coffee's bright, innovative edge. Like all precious things, this won't last forever – secure your batch while you can.

For a typical cup of coffee (using about 20g per cup):

Two cups per day:

• You use about 40g of coffee per day (280g per week)
• One 12 oz (340g) bag will last you about 8-9 days
• A 1 lb bag would last about 2 weeks

General weekly estimates:

• 1 cup/day: One 12 oz bag lasts about 2 weeks
• 2 cups/day: One 1 lb bag would be perfect for 2 weeks
• 3-4 cups/day: A 2 lb bag would last about 3 weeks
• Heavy coffee drinker or household with multiple coffee drinkers: Our 5 lb bag offers the best value

Note: For French Press or cold brew, you might use slightly more coffee per cup, so consider sizing up to ensure you don't run out!
