Negusse, a former computer engineer turned coffee producer, has built SNAP around a simple idea: make exceptional Ethiopian coffees by doing the fundamentals perfectly. At Worka Chelbesa, this means following traditional washed processing protocols with an obsessive attention to detail. Cherries are carefully depulped, undergo a short underwater fermentation, and are then rinsed and spread onto raised African drying beds where they slowly dry in the Gedeb sun. No experimental twists—just classic methods, executed beautifully.
The result is a coffee that tastes as timeless as it is vibrant. Lively citrus and soft florals lead the way, supported by the gentle sweetness of wildflower honey and a clean, tea-like finish that lingers with elegance. It’s a profile that reminds us why washed Ethiopians remain some of the most cherished coffees in the world: bright, expressive, and endlessly drinkable.
