Ethiopia, Kuri Mountain
Chelbesa is one of the most renowned coffee-growing areas in the Gedeb district, within the Yirgacheffe coffee region. It is the largest coffee-growing area in Gedeb, with approximately 1,240 hectares of coffee farms. Nearby villages, such as Banko Gotiti, Chelchele, and Halo, are also known for producing high-quality coffees.
Coffee production in Chelbesa is primarily based on small-scale farming. Many farmers grow coffee on small plots near their homes, often on land measuring less than one hectare. Coffee is an important family crop and a major source of income for many households in the area.
Farming methods remain largely traditional. Farmers often intercrop coffee with food crops such as enset, also known as false plantain, as well as avocados and papayas. This helps families make the most of their limited land while ensuring household food security.
The combination of high altitude, cool growing conditions, and acidic, iron-rich soils contributes to the bright, floral, and complex profile associated with coffees from Yirgacheffe and Gedeb.
Kuri Mountain Coffee was founded in 2015 by Habtamu Fikadu Aga and continues the family tradition of coffee farming that began in 1945. The company manages its own farm in Kellem Wollega and works with registered partner coffee farmers in various coffee-producing regions of Ethiopia. Kuri Mountain also operates washing stations, hulling plants, and export facilities, allowing it to control quality and traceability from cherry harvesting through export.
For washed lots, ripe cherries are sorted before pulping to remove the outer pulp. The coffee is then fermented and washed to remove the remaining mucilage before being dried on raised beds. During drying, the coffee is stirred regularly and its moisture content is monitored to ensure uniform drying and reduce the risk of defects. This process typically produces a clean cup profile, with clarity, brightness, and well-defined acidity.
