Danche Washing Station, Chelbesa, Ethiopia.

We're super excited to have this beautiful coffee back for a second year in the row. The Danche Station services approximately 800 local producers, all living around the station at 2200~ meters above sea level. 

The area is renown for its amazing cherry, and the Danche Station puts a strong focus on high-quality processing. This particular lot is floated upon arrival, sorting the cherries and picking out any duds. It is then stored in tanks to dry-ferment for 3 days before being put out as whole cherries on raised beds to dry for 16-21 days.

The fresh harvest of this lot especially expressive and juicy, we think the addition of the 3 day dry-fermentation really drives up the intensity and sweetness of the coffee. We're reminded of the Nova Scotian classic desert, Blueberry Grunt covered in vanilla ice cream, with a big punchy Lavender florality,  poppy Lemon, and a nice long Dark Chocolate finish!

It's a real treat for all the classic Ethiopian lovers out there, enjoyable as a pour-over, aeropress, or as a bright fruity espresso(super fun in milk, think cereal milk!).

Happy Sippin'!
