Ripe strawberry and soft peach, with a smooth milk chocolate finish. Juicy, sweet and balanced.
Lalesa is a coffee washing and drying station in Gedeb, Ethiopia. Coffee grows naturally under the shade of enset trees, with ripe cherries brought in by farmers from the surrounding area.
At the station, the cherries are floated and selected before being laid out on raised beds to dry for 12 to 15 days. During harvest, the site grows from 20 permanent employees to around 250 seasonal workers, with local women also involved in the final hand-sorting of the green coffee.
With 350 drying beds, Lalesa handles coffee from a harvest that runs from late November through January. This natural lot brings us right back to the cup: ripe strawberry, soft peach and milk chocolate.
