Heleanna Georgalis runs Moplaco trading company and carefully sources her coffees from the best producers in Ethiopia. We have been working with Heleanna for a number of years and love the coffees she sources. The last three years we have featured a coffee from Heleanna as one of our Christmas Coffees. This year, we decided to highlight another one of Heleanna's wonderful coffees: Chelelectu, a washed coffee from Yirgacheffe.

This coffee is from the Chelelectu washing station that is named after Chelelectu town, which is a major town in the area of Kochere in the Gedio Zone, on the border of Yirgacheffe and Oromia. This station was built in 2007 as the team at MOPLACO had a firm belief that coffees from Yirgacheffe had great potential. Coffee from Kochere is known for its small and compact beans that have good acidity and intensity.

This is a fully washed coffee, which is a classical processing method in Ethiopia. Coffee is collected by farmers all through the morning, and starting by early afternoon, coffee arrives at the washing station. It is then hulled where the cherry is separated from the coffee beans, and the beans are then soaked in water until the mucilage is completely dissolved through fermentation. More than 40% of coffee in Ethiopia since the 1960s are fully washed

We buy this coffee directly from Heleanna Georgalis.
