This coffee comes from 742 smallholder farmers, all bringing their ripe cherries to the Refisa washing station, run by Negusse Debela—the driving force behind SNAP Specialty Coffee.
SNAP is one of Ethiopia’s well-known coffee exporters, and our pals at Ally (the importers who brought this coffee our way) have been teaming up with them for the last 15 years. Their secret? Quality, quality, quality. They have 50 washing stations across Ethiopia, many tucked away in highland micro-regions.
Cherries are picked by hand, then fermented for 48–60 hours before being dried on raised beds for 7–10 days.
