What Motobean Roasters say
The Elegance of Uraga: High-Altitude Mastery
Experience the elegance of the Uraga district with Ethiopia Guji Chebega Single Origin Filter. Grown at staggering altitudes of up to 2300 MASL, this 74112 JARC variety is a masterclass in Ethiopian terroir. Surrounding the village of Harowacho, the high-altitude climate and the crossing Seboba River create a slow-maturation environment that locks in the complex sugars and vibrant acids we look for in a world-class filter coffee
Filter Flavour Profile: Yellow Nectarine, Orange Marmalade & Florals
As a dedicated filter roast, the Chebega is designed to highlight the delicate aromatics and tea-like transparency of the 74112 JARC variety. The natural processing is executed with surgical precision to deliver a vibrant and sophisticated cup:
-
Yellow Nectarine: A bright, stone-fruit acidity that provides a crisp and refreshing opening.
-
Orange Marmalade: A deep, citrus sweetness that creates a syrupy and balanced mid-palate.
-
Citrus Florals: An elegant, jasmine-like finish that lingers long after the final sip.
-
Character: A highly polished, clean, and light-bodied cup with a Smooth Body.
The Art of the African Raised Bed Process
To achieve this level of clarity, the natural processing is executed with surgical precision at the Tebe Melge washing station, overseen by Bisrat Melaku.
-
Density Sorting: Cherries are hand-picked by a team of 400–500 pickers and sorted by density to ensure only the most flavour-dense fruit is used.
-
Sun-Dried Perfection: The cherries are meticulously dried on African raised beds for 14–16 days. This traditional method allows for optimal airflow and temperature control, protecting the beans from over-fermentation and locking in a pristine 11% moisture content.
-
Varietal Purity: This lot features the 74112 JARC variety, a selection famous for its intense floral profile and citrus-driven acidity.
