A note from the Importer, Royal Coffee:

This coffee comes from smallholders in the Chelchele area, part of the Gedeb district in southern Gedeo Zone, where some of Ethiopia’s most complex and aromatic naturals come from year after year.  Gedeb is a unique area dense with coffee growers and processors.  This coffee was processed at a central site in Chelchele, one of the district’s most prolific coffee areas.

This coffee was processed by EDN Ethiopian Coffee, an independent processor and exporter with sites across Guji, southern Yirgacheffe, and Sidama. Their Chelchele station is one of Gedeb’s most active coffee hubs, and during harvest season it employs more than 200 people to handle sorting, rotating, drying, payments, logistics, you name it.

What sets EDN apart is that they treat processing as more than a transactions business. They pre-finance the small farmers they work with, offer educational support, and provide daily meals and lodging for staff. These are meaningful resources in a region where farming can be unpredictable, and they also help build strong, lasting relationships with growers in a highly competitive area. It’s an investment in people, in stability, and in the long-term future of Ethiopian coffee.
