Stoll Kaffee CHELBESA

Chelbesa is an organic washed coffee grown at an elevation between 1950 and 2200 meters. Chelbesa is named after the kebele (village) where the coffee is harvested. The growers from the Chelbesa bring their cherries to METAD's Gedeb Halo Beriti washing station in Gedeb, Yirgacheffe for further processing.

METAD is a family run business, with coffee at their roots for generations. METAD developed the Out-Growers Program in 2013. They wanted to invest in and support nearby coffee growing communities through this program, which has grown to over 6,500 members across both the Hambela and Gedeb regions.

METAD provides free seedlings and professional guidance at every stage of production, as well as pre and post harvest training to continue their professional development. They have certified not only their own farms and processing plants but also the farms of those participating in the Out-Grower's Program. They are invested in initiatives that include building clinics, funding the local elementary school, and constructing wells as a source for drinking water.

Stoll Kaffee

Country: Switzerland

n 1936, Oskar Stoll founded the Stoll Kaffee company in his parents' house in Seefeld in Zurich. Word quickly got around that Stoll Kaffee stands for excellent quality and the best service. In 1972 the company had grown so much that more space was needed and it moved to Manesseplatz, where Stoll Kaffee is still based today.

Stoll Kaffee has always been a family business that owes its success to the sustainable business ethics that have been passed down from father to son since it was founded. In 2011, Walter Stoll, the third generation owner of Stoll Kaffee, handed the company over to the Amann family. This family, which represents the same values and shares a similar history, has set itself the goal of continuing the Stoll brand as the Stoll family has done over the past decades with so much passion and love for coffee.

Stoll Kaffee has followed the dynamic coffee culture of recent years with great interest and has taken part in how a young and committed community has emerged over the past 20 years, which has its roots in the traditional coffee cultures of Austria, Italy and the birthplace of coffee, Ethiopia .

At Stoll Kaffee, 80 years of experience are combined with the latest technology to create a coffee, the quality of which can be tasted and felt in every single cup - whether it is classic Italian-roasted coffee or single-origin roasted beans - the passion for coffee has remained unchanged at Stoll since 1936 .
