About the region
Chelbesa's coffee grows shade-covered beneath a dense, layered semi-forest canopy in one of Yirgacheffe's most respected producing areas. The smallholder gardens around it are dominated by ancient landrace varieties, often organic by default, tended by farmers who intercrop food alongside coffee. In the natural process, only the ripest cherries are picked and dried whole with the fruit intact, turned regularly for airflow and even drying, a slow method that can run up to four weeks and is where the spice character develops.

Responsibly Sourced

Our coffee is ethically-sourced, specialty grade coffee beans

Naturally Smooth

Our beans are air-roasted for a smooth, never-bitter flavor.

Freshly Roasted

Each bag is freshly roasted within 2 days of your purchase to ensure maximum flavor.

Why Vanilla Moose Coffee

We use an electric fluid-bed (air) roasting process that lifts and roasts the beans on a stream of hot air instead of tumbling them in a hot metal drum.  

During the roast, the chaff naturally separates and is removed before it can add harsh notes to the coffee.  This helps prevent bitter, smoky flavors and keeps the cup clean and smooth. 

What this means for you in your cup:

  • Cleaner flavor with less bitterness
  • Even, consistent roasting
  • Clearer tasting notes
  • Small-batch, hands-on quality
  • Smooth, balanced coffee... never harsh.
