About this coffee: 

Worka Chelbesa is located in the Gedeb region of southern Ethiopia and is regarded as one of the most outstanding coffee-producing areas within Gedeb Woreda.

The area is characterized by a semi-natural forest structure, where enset, also known as false banana trees, and coffee trees grow in layered vegetation. This multi-layered environment provides stable growing conditions for coffee, making Worka Chelbesa a representative example of the ecological landscape that defines coffee cultivation in this region.

In Ethiopia, coffee is produced by many smallholder farmers. Cherries grown in different environments are delivered to a washing station, where they are processed and combined into a single lot. However, because cultivation, processing, and export are often handled separately, high-quality cherries do not always translate into equally strong final results.

SNAP Specialty Coffee works to narrow this gap. By operating its own washing stations, SNAP manages the process in one continuous flow, from cherry selection to fermentation and drying. This allows the quality of the cherries produced by farmers to be preserved and further refined during processing.

Key variables such as fermentation time, moisture content, and density are managed within defined standards, helping to reduce the natural variability often found in Ethiopian coffee. For SNAP, processing is not simply a matter of control; it is a way to achieve more stable, consistent, and expressive quality.

About Momos Coffee:

Momos Coffee started in 2007 as a small takeaway coffee shop right next to the restaurant where it belonged to his parents. Since then, over the last 17 years, we have sequentially and gradually expanded our business areas, including roastery, education programs, and e-commerce businesses. From seeds to one single cup of coffee we create, we hope everyone who is in this chain industry can pursue better lives.

The very first impression when we experienced the Specialty Coffee industry in Atlanta, in 2009 settled in our hearts and inspired us to keep moving forward over the decades. As a result of more than 10 years of knocking on the door of competition, Joo Yeon Jeon finally earned 1st place, which is known as the most significant competition in 2019, Boston.

Seeking the highest quality has been always our motivation, we started to travel origins, meet people, and do direct trade from the 4 Central American countries in 2011. Through many years of experience, now we are working with more than 16 countries, and more than 130 producers to understand each other and the meaning of long-term relationships and sustainability. We've successfully built this solid relationship through many obstacles and difficulties. And that makes the most important value of us more special to everyone.
