Heleanna Georgalis

Heleanna Georgalis sources coffee from Ethiopia, specifically operating across the regions of Sheka, Sidama, Sidamo, and Yirgacheffe. The coffee lots sourced through her work are grown at high altitudes, ranging between 2000 and 2300 meters above sea level.

The varietal profile of these coffees is primarily composed of heirloom varieties, which account for nine of the eleven lots recorded in the index. Two additional lots are categorized under other varietal designations.

The process portfolio for these coffees is diverse, reflecting a range of traditional and contemporary techniques. The catalog includes four washed lots and four natural lots. Additionally, the selection features one black honey lot, one standard honey lot, and one anaerobic washed lot.

Across the index, five different roasters have carried coffee sourced by Heleanna Georgalis. Recent catalog entries include the Kawo Farm Espresso processed as a natural by both Tres Cabezas and 19grams, as well as the Ethiopia Hamesho Kebena processed as a washed heirloom by Proud Mary Coffee. Sey Coffee has also featured multiple lots, including a washed heirloom from Harbegona and an anaerobic washed heirloom from Bensa Logita.

The work of Heleanna Georgalis is characterized by a broad range of processing methods applied to heirloom Ethiopian cultivars.
