Origin Story

This coffee comes from Chelchele Washing Station in the Kochere district of Yirgacheffe, where hundreds of smallholder farmers deliver ripe cherries throughout the harvest season. Most producers cultivate coffee on tiny plots alongside food crops, often using traditional organic farming practices passed down through generations.
For this natural lot, cherries are carefully sorted before drying on raised beds for up to 25 days. The combination of high elevations, heirloom varieties and meticulous drying produces the distinctive fruit forward profiles that have helped establish Yirgacheffe as one of the world's most celebrated coffee origins.

Process & care

Our sourcing philosophy

Every coffee has a story. Every cup connects people. Sourcing coffee is not just about logistics and contracts. It’s about people, patience, and purpose. Every bag of green coffee represents someone’s work, someone’s story, and a shared pursuit of excellence.

Our relationships are built at Origin. We create partnerships built on respect, shared goals, and good coffee. We believe the best coffees come from long-term partnerships. Many of our producers have worked with us for years, refining the characteristics of the coffee we seek.These relationships are built on mutual respect and open communication. Travelling to visit our producing partners is key to nurturing relationships that matter.
Consistency and quality

From origin to roastery, every step is about consistency. Every shipment we receive is cupped and compared against its pre-ship sample to confirm that the coffee matches the quality and profile we expect. It’s a process that demands time and focus, but it’s what ensures every batch of Deluca coffee delivers on flavour and reliability.
