The story

The Danche washing station was acquired in 2019 by Negusse Debela, the founder of SNAP Specialty Coffee, to expand his processing capacity in the Worka Chelbesa kebele. Negusse, a former technology entrepreneur who founded SNAP in 2008, manages the site alongside his team to process coffee from approximately 600 to 800 local smallholder farmers. The facility is situated in the Gedeb woreda, a region where commercial coffee cultivation is relatively recent, having primarily developed since the 1990s.

Challenges

Coffee production in Ethiopia faces significant variability due to changing environmental and climatic conditions from year to year.

Innovations

Recent documented protocols include conventional 36-hour underwater washed fermentation, white-honey drying with retained mucilage, and a second-selection process using a 12-hour cherry rest followed by 12 hours dry and 12 hours wet fermentation.

Published coffees linked to this farm

For blends, a farm may be named for one documented component without growing the entire coffee. These catalog relationships do not independently verify every lot, harvest or producer. See individual coffee profiles for traceability evidence.

Research sources & verification

These source links were recorded for this farm profile. They document its research trail; a linked source is not, by itself, confirmation of every farm, producer, coffee lot or photo identity.
