We’re big fans of a good cup of Ethiopian drip, and this washed Heirloom makes for the perfect everyday brew. It’s got that nice tea-like body that we look for in an Ethiopian, with medium fruit-like acidity, and a long floral aftertaste. It’s delicate and apricoty and it pairs well with everything breakfast. The cherries undergo a shaded fermentation for 45-60 hours before being washed and laid out on thick African beds to dry in the sun for 7 to 10 days. What we like about SNAP is that they’re committed to both sustainability and societal impact, having built a road, hospital, and school near their station and have donated plants to local farmers to support their livelihoods.
