Ethiopia Yirgacheffe Chelbessa

The community of Chelbessa is in Ethiopia's Yirgacheffe region, an origin known for its ethereal, floral-tasting coffees. Yirgacheffe is one of the first regions in Ethiopia to begin washing coffee with the traditional method used today by many high-quality producers. Parlor Coffee's roast of this fully washed lot brews a silken cup laden with notes of honey and bergamot: a wonderfully clean and comforting everyday drinker.

Pour-Over Recipe

Using Kalita Wave 185

Coffee: 22 g ground like kosher salt

Water: 360 g

Bloom: Pour 66 g of water, stir the brew bed with the utensil, and let saturate for 30 seconds.

Pulse Pours: Pour to 200 g, wait until the water is halfway down the dripper then pour to 280 g, then add the final 80 g and give your dripper a swirl as it drains through.

Total Brew Time: 3-4 minutes

Note: If your brew time is too short or long, adjust your grinder. A finer grind will encourage longer brew times and a coarser grind will speed things up.
