Danche Village

Taste Story

This juicy lot from Ethiopia’s Yirgacheffe region reminds us of a cold glass of pink lemonade, sweet and pleasantly tart. Its delicate body is full of citrus and stone fruit sensations. Most prominently are ripe peaches, and Meyer lemons. So you get a sweet but crisp drinking sensation. In the background you’ll find tropical fruit vibes like mango & papaya. This washed lot offers tons of flavors you’ll savor. This lot is what we love about Ethiopian coffee, so we know you’ll love it. 

Processing Journey

Hand harvested coffee cherries from small lot farmers are delivered to the Chelchele Washing Station. Once there the cherries are floated to detect defective and inferior beans. The highest quality cherries undergo a 72 hour underwater fermentation. After this the cherries are depulped, and the coffee beans are transferred to drying beds. The coffee dries for 18-21 days depending on environmental conditions. During this time the coffee is consistently rotated to promote even drying.

Farmer Profile

Small lot farmers from the Danche village deliver their hand harvested coffee to the family run Tracon processing station. These small lot farmers are the life force of Ethiopian coffee that has allowed roasters like us to bring amazing coffee to our local communities. Many of these farmers typically intercrop their coffee plants with other food crops to maximize land use, and to feed their families. Farming is a vital undertaking for these farmers that we honor with thoughtful roasting practices.
