The Koke Red Honey, from Yirgacheffe, Ethiopia

The Koke Red Honey comes from the Konga Washing Station, located in the Gedeo zone of Yirgacheffe, Ethiopia. The station sits at 2,000 m.a.s.l., where more than 400 smallholder producers contribute from across the kebeles of Koke, Konga, Udessaa, and Birbirsa Kala. This lot is comprised of the mixed heirloom varieties Kudhume and Dega.

The Red Honey process begins with rigorous selection: only cherries scoring >20° Brix on a refractometer are chosen, floated, and sorted. These cherries undergo 24 hours of aerobic fermentation followed by 24 hours of anaerobic fermentation, then depulped and dried on shaded raised beds for 15 days, depending on the weather.

Red Honey Perfection

SNAP Specialty Coffee was established in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia in 2008, by Mr. Negusse, an entrepreneur driven by a passion for coffee. Through their own washing stations and collaborations with others in the key coffee-producing regions of Sidama, Yirgacheffe, and Guji , the company excels in sourcing, producing and logistic systems.

SNAP is committed to enhancing farmer livelihoods and elevating coffee quality. Through their comprehensive approach, they provide training to over 6,000 farmers, equipping them with the knowledge and skills needed to improve nursery management, coffee production, and processing. By training farmers in these areas, they contribute to the overall improvement of rural livelihoods and environmental sustainability.

The focus on quality extends to strict cherry sorting throughout the entire process, ensuring only the best cherries move forward. SNAP’s dedication to sustainable practices also encompasses soil and water conservation, as well as deforestation awareness.

SNAP Specialty Coffee plays a pivotal role in the coffee industry, making a positive social impact, promoting sustainability, and consistently delivering exceptional quality from the heart of Ethiopia. We’ve been working with SNAP since 2024, and needless to say, we are thrilled to build this relationship in the homeland of Arabica coffee.
