We take immense pride in introducing Nucleus Coffee Lab's newest roasting project, Nucleus Coffee Lab: Chaka Edition. Originating from the fertile volcanic soils of Ethiopia's renowned Gesha Village, Chaka coffee embodies a rich heritage and an exquisite range of qualities that distinguishes it from conventional beans.
A Journey Back to the Origins
Embarking on a journey to the sacred grounds of Gesha Village in Ethiopia, the very birthplace of coffee, is an experience of unmatched significance. Situated at elevations of up to 2,100 meters above sea level, Gesha Village stands not only as a farm but also as a cornerstone of exceptional coffee. The distinctive geography and climate prevailing in this region provide an optimal environment for cultivating the most exquisite coffee beans.
Coffee Profile
The Chaka is a blend of varieties including the Gesha coffee bean. It is recognized for its extraordinary taste, characterized by floral notes combined with succulent tropical fruit and honey undertones. This Gesha Village Chaka Coffee stands out with a light body and high acidity, highlighted by its intricate, sweet, and aromatic flavor profile.
