Brewing Advice
Water is one of the most critical components of an excellent coffee experience. We recommend using mineral water of a soft Total Dissolved Solids count, ideally below 150 ppm.
Rested coffee During the resting process, harsh and astringent flavors, which can even be perceived as a ‘roast’ character, soften out, allowing a clearer and brighter expression of the coffee’s character to shine.
We recommend resting our coffees for at least 10 days after the roast date, and we often find excellent results, especially for particularly dense coffees, beyond 6 weeks.
Brewing Our straightforward approach to coffee carries over into brewing. We recommend our roasted coffee for all brew methods, regardless of whether it is immersion, percolation or espresso. We believe that there is one correct way to roast a single coffee, roasting lightly, in such a way as to release its innate qualities and showcase its quality.

Danche
This honey lot was processed at SNAP Coffee’s washing station in the village of Danche, located in the Chelbesa area of Yirgacheffe. During our trip to Ethiopia in February, we cupped several tables of excellent coffees from this year’s harvest at SNAP’s headquarters in Addis Ababa. Coffee for this lot was delivered by smallholders surrounding the village, before undergoing honey processing with SNAP’s meticulous team.
Honey processing is still rather seldom seen in Ethiopia, but the dry and hot conditions during harvest allow for careful and consistent control of drying, covering the drying beds with tarps during the most intense hours of sun to protect from damage and slow the drying.
Coffee is turned often, and hand sorted at several stages during processing to ensure cleanliness. This ensures a balance between very clean Ethiopian character, and a ripe fruit expression in the cup.
In the case of Danche, this creates a ripe stone fruit character, reminiscent of peach and apricot, underpinning the aromatic top notes of jasmine and white tea.
Ethiopia
In Ethiopia, coffee still grows semi-wild, and in some cases completely wild. Apart from some regions of neighbouring South Sudan, Ethiopia is the only country in which coffee is found growing in this way, due to its status as the genetic birthplace of arabica coffee. This means in many regions, small producers still harvest cherries from wild coffee trees growing in high altitude humid forests, especially around Ethiopia’s famous Great Rift Valley.
