Subtext Coffee Roasters

Ethiopia Chelbesa Danche, Yellow Honey Washed Kurume & Wolisho

From the Chelbesa Danche station in Gedeb, Gedeo—one of Ethiopia's premier coffee-growing districts—this lot represents about 800 smallholder producers delivering cherry to SNAP's meticulously managed facility. The Kurume and Wolisho varieties were specifically bred by JARC to resist Coffee Berry Disease, a practical choice that doesn't compromise quality. Yellow honey processing means cherries are de-pulped, fermented in tanks for 2 days, then dried on raised beds for 10–14 days with daily movement, concentrating sweetness and body. Subtext's cupping score of 86.75 reflects a clean, balanced profile typical of well-executed honey processing at elevation. This is a direct-relationship coffee from a roaster with three years of partnership history via Quest importer.
