Ethiopia West Arsi Riripa

from $20.00

This coffee was produced by smallholder producers living in the Riripa village of the Nensebo woreda of Ethiopia’s West Arsi zone. Ripe cherries were delivered by 822 producers to SNAP’s Riripa washing station, which is operated by Negusse Debela who is also responsible for overseeing SNAP’s two washing stations in Worka Chelbesa.

Local farmers grow locally selected Landrace and JARC varieties. Cherries are manually harvested before being delivered to the washing station. This lot underwent traditional Natural processing and was dried on raised beds. Cherries are turned frequently during drying, and are covered during the hottest hours of the day and at night to control the rate of drying.

This coffee was sourced from SNAP Specialty Coffee. SNAP was established in 2008 by Negusse Debela in Ethiopia’s capital, Addis Ababa. The company operates three washing stations in the Gedeo zone, and are partnered with additional washing stations in Guji and West Arsi. We began our partnership with SNAP in 2022.

  • Ideally you should grind as you go. It’s important that your grind is matched to the coffee making process with plunger being very coarse and espresso being very fine.

  • To preserve all those delicate flavours of freshly roasted beans, store them in either an opaque collapsible air tight container or vacuum sealed bag at room temperature away from direct sunlight.
