IN THIS BLEND
Chelbesa - Ethiopia
Located in Gedeo zone of the Gedeb district - known for its dense layered semi-forest vegetation structure encompassing false banana trees as well as shade grown coffee trees - Worka Chelbesa is one of the finest coffee producing areas within the famous Gedeb Woreda. SNAP Specialty Coffee built a new wet mill in 2019 in Chelbesa Village with the hope of purchasing cherries from the local farms within the area. This particular lot has been processed using a traditional natural method. Sorting is done using a series of floatation tanks that separates all floaters and immature cherries. During the process of floatation, the cherries are cleaned before being placed on drying beds for a period of 28 to 35 days.
Sacacli - Nicaragua
Cooperativa de Servicios Múltiples Sacaclí is a multi-service cooperative of small-scale vegetable and coffee farmers. Established in 1994, it now has more than 500 members in rural Jinotega. The cooperative offers services including production, technical assistance, coffee nursery management, financial services, and commercialisation. It also offers social programs such as scholarships for the children of producers and support for funeral insurance. In recent years, Sacacli has been shifting to regenerative and organic coffee production. It has assisted members in renovating their coffee plantations and working with skilled staff to improve harvests, operate more efficiently and improve soil quality.
