Coffee Description
No, this isn’t a flavored coffee with sugar in it. Those crazy flavors you’re picking up is what coffee can taste like when taken really good care of. The “natural” process turns coffee cherries into raisins before getting the seeds ready for roasters. Fermentation makes some gnarly flavors if not carefully monitored, so we only work with small landholders in the Yirgacheffe region of Ethiopia that painstakingly pay attention to the fermentation process. This way all you taste is freshly picked fruit, you’re welcome.

About Smallholder Farmers of Ethiopia
The kebele (meaning community) of Worka Chelbessa is located in Gedeb, which is the southernmost part of the Gedeo region.
For the last decade, the area of Worka Chelbessa has become well known for producing spectacular coffees, which is why coffee producer Negusse Debela wanted to invest in this area when he established SNAP Specialty Coffee in 2008.
Negusse Debela has not been in the coffee industry for his whole career. He is known in Ethiopia as a computer guy, running a successful computer part import company. While coffee does not seem like a natural leap, he was inspired on trip to Minnesota where at a café he had a pour-over that gave him a great epiphany.
At that moment Negusse realized the potential of coffee in his home country, and upon returning, he got right to work. He began by touring coffee processing sites throughout southern Ethiopia to understand the farming and processing better. From that initial tour, he was determined to set his company SNAP on a course to be one of the highest quality exporters in Ethiopia.
