<p>SNAP has worked to improve local coffee washing stations through their meticulous attention to detail. They've been operating the Danche Chelbesa washing station since 2019 — two years after beginning operations at the Worka Chelbesa community washing station nearby.</p>
<p>SNAP is a family-owned business. It was founded in 2008 by Negusse Debela, who first made a name for himself as one of the largest importers of computer parts and components in Ethiopia. A relative newcomer to the coffee industry, Negusse had a coffee "Aha!" moment while visiting family in Minnesota, where he had an Ethiopian coffee pour over that gave him a new appreciation for the coffee from his home country. Inspired by this experience, he returned to Ethiopia with a goal of becoming one of the highest quality exporters of coffee in the country. </p>

<h4><span>How We’re Brewing It:</span></h4>
<p><span>We love Banko Chelchele as a pour over to bring out the clarity and layered fruit notes. But like many of our Ethiopian coffees, its high solubility makes it beautifully versatile across any brew method.</span></p>
