Surf Jam

DAK’s second summer coffee of the year is a natural Ethiopian that’s dense and jammy. It has notes of blackberry, sweet cherries, and dates, which come from the Chelchele washing and drying station in the village of Chelchele, Gedeb, at an altitude of 2100 meters above sea level.

The Chelchele washing and dry processing site is named after the village of Chelchele, where it processes coffee grown at elevations ranging from 1900 to 2100 metres. The site itself is located at 2000 metres elevation and features well-developed infrastructure, including 14 standard fermentation and washing tanks, 130-150 drying beds, and two water tanks with a capacity of 90,000 litres each. The coffee varieties are intercropped with Enset, beans and avocado trees in the region's red-brown fertile soil. The site includes a 30 by 16-metre warehouse for dry coffee preparation.
