The Yirgacheffe Chelbesa Washed lot comes from the Chelbesa station to which around 672 farmers contribute, situated in the Gedeb zone, SNNPR, Ethiopia (Chelbesa is the “kebele”). The contributing producers grow and cultivate mainly the local 74158 & 74112 varieties at an elevation of around 2173 m.a.s.l.
Once the cherries arrive at the stations, they are floated and sorted. Then, they use eco-pulpers to remove the skin and get to the parchment coffee. Next, they remove the mucilage by keeping the parchment coffee in a fermentation tank for two or three days. Afterwards, the coffee is placed in a soaking tank for 12 hours and then put on a raised bed to dry for 7-10 days. They sort through the dried coffee to find any beans that have been damaged, and send the good ones to a warehouse for dry processing. Finally, it is packaged and ready to sell.
A Taste of Ethiopia’s finest Washed lots
Snap Specialty Coffee was established in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, in 2008, by Negusse, an entrepreneur driven by a passion for coffee. Through the collaboration with their own washing stations in the key coffee-producing regions such as Sidama, Yirgacheffe, and Guji Zone, 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. Farmers receive free or low-cost inputs, including fertilizers, sprays, and pesticides, to support their profitability in the face of rising costs.
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 encompasses soil and water conservation as well as deforestation awareness. By training farmers in these areas, they contribute to the overall improvement of rural livelihoods and environmental sustainability.
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.
