Melaku Negash Chelba Organic Washed

Aromas of caramel, macadamia, and blueberry compote introduce this delightful cup. When sipped, we noted a juicy body with bright lemongrass acidity. Flavors of peach, butterscotch and hibiscus layer over raspberry sweetness, with a mildly cooling lemongrass finish. Certified Organic by OCIA.

Each harvest season, Melaku’s meticulous approach—from cherry selection to his careful 15-20-day drying process—delivers remarkable quality. "Melaku represents more than a supplier.
