Description
People:
Negusse Debela spent years importing computer parts before a single pour-over in a Minnesota café changed his direction entirely. He came home to Ethiopia, toured processing stations across the south, and built SNAP Specialty Coffee in 2008. Today SNAP runs two sites in Worka Chelbessa, a kebele in Gedeb, the newest and southernmost district of the Gedeo Zone, farmed high at 1900 to 2200 meters.
Place:
Ethiopia is the origin of coffee. Coffee grows across regions like Sidama, Yirgacheffe, Guji, Harrar, and Gedeo at 1,500–2,200+ meters. Indigenous varieties, smallholder farming, and diverse microclimates shape flavor. Coffee is harvested October through January, producing complex, aromatic profiles with bright acidity and distinctive floral and fruit notes prized worldwide.
