The story, origin and production of Boku Snap Natural

This Ethiopian Boku Snap natural lot comes from the Boku Abel washing station, situated in the Hambela Wamena district in the Oromia region of Ethiopia. At this station, around 600 farmers contribute to the cultivation and harvesting of the coffee cherries. These farmers primarily grow the local 74158 variety at an impressive altitude of approximately 2350 meters above sea level.

The high altitude and unique terroir of this region play a crucial role in developing the distinctive flavor profiles of the coffee produced here. This lot, known as Boku Snap, is a natural lot, meaning that the cherries are dried with all their pulp, allowing the fruity flavors to infuse into the bean.

Meticulous Production Process

The production process of the Ethiopia Boku Snap is rigorous and meticulous, beginning with the hand-picking of the cherries. Only perfectly ripe cherries are selected, while overripe or unripe ones are discarded. This step is crucial to ensure the quality and consistency of the final product.

Once harvested, the cherries are dry-fermented on raised beds. This traditional method allows precise control of the drying process, which typically lasts between 7 and 10 days. During this period, the cherries are frequently turned throughout the day and covered during the hottest hours and at night to protect them from the elements. This careful handling ensures that the cherries dry evenly, preserving the delicate and complex flavors of the coffee.

After drying, the cherries undergo strict sorting to remove any defects and ensure that only the best beans proceed to the next step. Finally, the beans are packaged in GrainPro bags, ready to be enjoyed by coffee lovers worldwide.

SNAP Specialty Coffee: Commitment to Quality and Sustainability

Snap Specialty Coffee was founded in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, in 2008 by Negusse, an entrepreneur passionate about coffee. Since its inception, SNAP has worked tirelessly to excel in coffee sourcing, production, and logistics, collaborating closely with its own washing stations in key coffee-producing regions such as Sidama, Yirgacheffe, and Guji Zone.

SNAP’s commitment goes beyond producing high-quality coffee. The company is dedicated to improving the livelihoods of farmers and elevating the quality of Ethiopian coffee. Through a comprehensive approach, SNAP provides training to over 6,000 farmers, equipping them with the knowledge and skills needed to improve nursery management, coffee production, and processing methods.

Supporting Farmers and Sustainable Practices

Farmers working with SNAP receive free or low-cost inputs, including fertilizers, sprays, and pesticides, helping them maintain profitability in the face of rising costs. This support is essential to ensure that farmers can continue producing high-quality coffee without compromising their livelihoods.

SNAP’s dedication to quality is reflected in its strict cherry sorting throughout the production process. Only the best cherries are selected, ensuring that the final product is of the highest possible quality.

In addition to its commitment to quality, SNAP is also dedicated to sustainable practices. This includes soil and water conservation, as well as deforestation awareness. By training farmers in these areas, SNAP not only improves environmental sustainability but also contributes to the overall well-being of rural communities.

Social and Environmental Impact

SNAP Specialty Coffee plays a pivotal role in the coffee industry, generating a positive social impact and promoting sustainability. The company strives to continuously improve coffee quality while supporting farming communities through education and resources.

Additionally, SNAP invests in local infrastructure, providing technological equipment to newly built schools in the regions where they operate and constructing new roads in hard-to-reach farming areas. Their future plans include building clinics to improve healthcare access for farmers in washing station areas.

Conclusion

SNAP Specialty Coffee’s commitment to quality, sustainability, and farmer support is evident in every cup of coffee they produce. The Ethiopia Boku Natural Snap is a testament to the dedication and care SNAP puts into every step of the process, from cherry harvesting to the final product. By choosing SNAP Specialty Coffee, you not only enjoy exceptional coffee but also support sustainable agricultural practices and the well-being of farming communities in Ethiopia.

This is the cold brew coffee recipe that we propose for you to make 600ml of cold brew. The ratio, in case you want to brew more or less than this quantity, is 1:15, 1gr of coffee for every 15gr/ml of water.

Recipe and equipment:

• Coffee 40gr. (Use whichever coffee you prefer. We suggest coffees that you like in filter. The ones that are tagged with “Cold Brew” are our favourites).
• Grind size: Comandante 16 clicks.
• Water 600gr/ml at room temperature.
• Water composition: 2 parts of Lanjarón for 1 part of Bezoya.
• Mesh or silk.
• Glass container (preferably with a lid).
• Let it rest for 22 hours (in the fridge).

The way to make cold brew:

• Grind the coffee with a medium grind. Comandante 16 clicks.
• Pour the coffee directly into the mesh.
• Introduce the mesh in the glass container.
• Pour the water into the container through the mesh with the coffee.
• Swirl to wet all the coffee.
• Cover the container.
• Let it rest for 22 hours in the fridge (beware of strong odors!).
• When complete remove the mesh with the coffee and it will be ready.
• Bonus: you can filter it again through a V60, Kalita or similar paper filter to obtain a clean and more crystalline result.
• Keep it refrigerated.
• This recipe is not to dilute. Not even with ice. If you add ice, the composition of the ice water will affect the taste of your drink. Better to make your own ice with the same composition of water proposed. If you use ice, you may want to lower the ratio (1:9 to 1:12).
