NEGUSSE DEBELA

We are definitely in the business of handing out coffee epiphanies to people and it's truly inspiring when you have the privilege to taste a coffee this special that was produced by Negusse. Negusse was inspired on a trip to Minnesota where he found himself sitting inside a cafe experiencing a pour-over, that for him was an epiphany that started it all. At that moment he realized the full potential of the coffee grown in his home country of Ethiopia was not even close to being reached. As soon he returned home, he got right to work. Negusse started off by visiting and touring coffee processing sites throughout southern Ethiopia to learn and understand the intricacies of farming and processing better. From that initial tour, Negusse has been determined to set his company SNAP on a course to be synonymous with sourcing and producing the highest quality coffees attainable in Ethiopia. This year SNAP has made a new addition to the team by adding Negussie’s son Ammanuel Negussie to the mix to oversee in country operations and to continue to build more momentum on the amazing coffee SNAP consistently puts out in the world.

PROCESSING

At Worka Sakaro, they emphasize the use of traditional underwater fermentation that is popular in Ethiopia. In underwater fermentation the coffee is fully submerged in water for 36 to 48 hours normally, but the process can take longer. After fermentation the coffee is dried for 10-14 days on raised beds.
