This lot from Chelbesa, reminds us of bubblegum, dark cherry, & port wine, and is the result of the meticulous work of farmers who are part of the out-grower’s program with METAD. Naturally processed, this landrace lot starts as fruit grown in gardens tended by smallholders associated with the Chelbesa community in Gedeb, Ethiopia. METAD then processes the fruit intact and dries the little purple orbs on raised beds for 6-8 weeks as yeast dominant fermentation transforms them.
