Jasmine • Berries • Brown Sugar

A beautifully elegant Ethiopian that showcases everything we love about washed coffees.

Grown in the renowned Worka Chelbesa washing station in Ethiopia's celebrated Gedeo Zone, this coffee is a perfect example of why Ethiopian coffees are among the most sought-after in the world. High elevations, heirloom varieties and meticulous processing combine to produce a cup that's vibrant, floral and incredibly refined.

Roasted exclusively for filter brewing, Worka Chelbesa is delicate yet expressive. Expect juicy notes of berries, fragrant Jasmine, and a lingering brown sugar -like sweetness. The cup is clean and layered, with a silky mouthfeel and sparkling citrus acidity that evolves beautifully as the coffee cools.

This is a coffee that rewards slower brewing methods, revealing new flavours from the first sip to the last. It's the sort of coffee that reminds us why we fell in love with specialty coffee in the first place.

Freshly roasted in small batches in Southampton by our Head Roaster, Wilson, this lot celebrates clarity, balance and terroir.
