We've featured Negussee and his export company, SNAP Specialty Coffee, on our menu regularly over the years, and you've likely come to know and love many of the coffees being produced by the washing stations with which they partner, like Riripa, Danche, and Worka Chelbesa.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis release hails from the Refisa Washing Station, which represents 588 smallholder coffee farms and is located in the heart of the Nensebo district in the region of West Arsi. As far as coffee-growing regions in Ethiopia go, West Arsi is something of a newcomer. The Refisa Washing Station is helping this region make a name for itself in the world of specialty coffee, rolling out Cup of Excellence contenders year after year.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRUST THE PROCESS |\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAfter being picked at peak ripeness and delivered to the wet mill, coffee cherries are floated to remove defects before being washed and soaked for five hours. The washed beans are then left to ferment for 72 hours. Finally, they are spread out to dry on raised beds for 9–11 days, until optimal moisture content is achieved. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTAKE A SIP |\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFresh, sweet, and floral, this coffee exemplifies so much of what we love about Ethiopian-grown beans. Stone fruit, like fresh cherries, is complemented by sweet citrus notes, making us long for warmer temperatures and longer days. A lingering, floral sweetness like wildflower honey stays with you long after you’ve taken your last sip.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin |\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNensebo, West Arsi, Oromia, Ethiopia\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer |\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNeguesse Debela (owner of SNAP) working with farmers in the communities of Refisa, Roricho, Bulga, and Solena\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWashing Station |\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRefisa Washing Station\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProcess |\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWashed\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVariety |\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWolisho \u0026amp; Kurume\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb id=\"docs-internal-guid-cea8f31b-7fff-e2f6-1d0a-a0ad6a75ee96\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eElevation | \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e1900–2070 MASL\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Black \u0026 White Coffee Roasters","offers":[{"title":"12oz","offer_id":51732786708793,"sku":"BWSO-Ref-WA12","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"2lb","offer_id":51732786741561,"sku":"BWSO-Ref-WA02","price":68.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"5lb","offer_id":51732786774329,"sku":"BWSO-Ref-WA05","price":170.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2988\/2574\/files\/refisawashed_2025_onlinecard_4x_d6750b7c-e421-4f62-91ea-45a9888bbbe8.png?v=1757600355","url":"https:\/\/www.blackwhiteroasters.mom\/products\/r-refisa-washed","provider":"Black \u0026 White Coffee Roasters","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
