Ethiopia Gogogu Espresso

This lot is made up of around 425 smallholder “garden” farmers, who deliver their ripe red coffee cherries to the Gogugu Washing Station operated by SNAP Specialty Coffees. The processing starts with selective handpicking in the morning, followed by pulping in the afternoon. The coffee undergoes natural sun dried processing, allowing for traditional fermentation to occur across 8 to 25 days. The drying process is carefully managed with multiple daily turnings and sometimes shaded to protect the beans from direct sunlight, ensuring even moisture reduction and preventing defect formation. Once fully dried, the cherries are milled to remove the outer fruit and parchment layer, then undergo a final hand-sorting before being prepared for export.
