Mokha Ethiopian Chelchele

Bold from the start. Rich dark chocolate and roasted nuts form the foundation.

Fruit comes through strong: Think blackberry jam and dark cherry, not subtle but beautifully integrated.

Spice notes add intrigue—hints of cinnamon and cardamom that keep you guessing.

Sweetness is deep and syrupy, like molasses or brown sugar caramel.

Body is full and creamy, coating your palate. Acidity is balanced, never sharp, more like ripe fruit than citrus. Finish is long and warming, leaving you with chocolate and spice lingering pleasantly.

The Region: Chelchele sits in the Guji zone, an area rapidly gaining recognition for producing exceptional coffee with unique profiles.

Growing Conditions: At 1,800 to 2,000 meters elevation, the climate provides ideal growing conditions with distinct wet and dry seasons that concentrate flavors in the beans.

Natural Processing: Coffee cherries are dried whole under the sun for 15-21 days on raised drying beds. This method allows the fruit's natural sugars to infuse into the beans, creating deep, complex sweetness and body.

Our Partnership: Direct relationships with processing stations ensure we get first pick of the best lots. Every bag supports sustainable farming practices and fair compensation for growers.

Natural processing is what sets Chelchele apart. The extended drying time with fruit intact creates flavors you simply cannot get from washed coffees.

These beans are meticulously sorted to ensure only ripe cherries make it through. Our medium to medium-dark roast brings out the chocolate and spice while preserving the fruit complexity underneath.

Grade 1 quality means zero defects and maximum flavor potential. Roasted fresh in Saudi Arabia in small batches ensures every bag delivers peak taste and aroma.

Espresso: This is where Chelchele really shines. Pull shots at 27-30 seconds for thick, syrupy espresso with incredible crema. Perfect for straight shots or milk drinks.

Moka Pot: Medium-fine grind creates intense, concentrated coffee that captures the chocolate and berry notes beautifully.

French Press: Coarse grind, 4-5 minute steep. The full immersion method extracts maximum body and sweetness.

Pour Over: Medium grind, 94°C water. Slower pour reveals complexity and keeps the body rich.

Turkish Coffee: Superfine grind creates traditional thick coffee with pronounced spice notes.

Chelchele is your answer when lighter coffees feel too delicate. This has weight, presence, and flavor that stands up to anything.

Morning warriors who need coffee that means business will appreciate the full body and bold character. Espresso enthusiasts get a coffee that pulls beautifully and works perfectly in milk-based drinks.

If you love chocolate and berry flavors together, Chelchele delivers that combination effortlessly. For cafes building a signature house blend or single-origin espresso program, this creates customer loyalty.

At home, it's the coffee you reach for when you want something substantial and satisfying. Chelchele doesn't fade into the background—it's coffee you actually notice and remember.
