Lalesa

Bright, elegant and remarkably structured. White florals and citrus open into passion fruit, lychee and pineapple, followed by sweet cherry and peach. A touch of white pepper adds gentle spice, while a light, floral tea-like character runs through the cup. Syrupy, balanced and complex.

Gedeo is one of Ethiopia’s most celebrated highland coffee regions, known for its fragrant florals, delicate fruit and remarkable aromatic range. High elevations, diverse indigenous coffee varieties and distinct growing areas give Gedeo its extraordinary complexity. In Gedeb, where Lalesa is grown, coffee thrives among layers of semi-forest vegetation and shade trees. The best cups combine vivid fruit with floral elegance, sweetness and a beautiful sense of clarity. Give this one a little time. As the cup cools, the fruit shifts, the florals open, and another layer appears.
