This lot is naturally processed at the SNAP washing station in Gedeb, which lies at an altitude of 2000 masl near the village of Chelbesa, Yirgacheffe. After fermenting, the cherries are laid out to dry on African beds on the same site. It contains microlots from 476 smallholder farmers in Chelbesa who all cultivated their cherries at 2000 to 2100 masl. Contrary to 476 seeming like a big number, SNAP runs a rather small scale production, for these farmers typically own no more than 1 or 2 hectares of fertile land. SNAP itself was established in 2008 by Ato Sisay and the company’s philosophy has always been to work with the finest coffees producers in the region, supporting them year after year and thus establishing permanent and durable relationships that drive the coffee forward. This focus on excellent coffee has gained them various award-winning lots and international recognition.
