Danche

About This Coffee

Our favorite washed Ethiopian coffee is back! We loved this coffee so much last year that we offered two separate harvests to keep it around longer. This is our first Ethiopian offering of the year and we’re thrilled that it’s Danche! Nestled in a small village in Ethiopia's Worka Chelbessa region, this lovely coffee comes from entrepreneur Neguesse Debela. After establishing his first processing site in 2017, he expanded operations in 2019 to include the Danche washing station. Now, Neguesse and his family manage both sites, producing high-quality washed, natural, and experimental coffees. Danche's distinct profile is achieved through a traditional Ethiopian process: a 36-48 hour underwater fermentation, followed by 10-14 days of drying on raised beds. The result is a coffee that embodies the best of washed Ethiopian beans, with a crisp mouthfeel and a harmonious balance of sweetness and floral notes. Expect delightful flavors of Lemon-lime, Honeysuckle and Blueberry Pie.
