About the Washing Station

Danche Coffee Washing Station is located at 2,156 metres above sea level in Gedeb, Gedeo, southern Ethiopia. Established in 2019 by SNAP Specialty Coffee, the station processes coffee cherries harvested by smallholder farmers in the surrounding area. This particular lot originates from Chelbesa village.

Gedeb is renowned for producing some of Ethiopia's most distinctive specialty coffees. Coffee grows beneath a layered canopy of native trees and enset plants, often referred to as false banana. This semi-forested environment provides natural shade and supports a rich agricultural ecosystem.

Freshly harvested cherries are delivered to the Danche Washing Station, where they are carefully processed under the quality management of SNAP Specialty Coffee.

Process

This coffee undergoes washed processing, in which the outer fruit is removed and the remaining mucilage is broken down through fermentation and washing before drying. This method is often associated with clean, expressive flavours and bright acidity.

A distinctive feature of Danche Washing Station is its use of ceramic fermentation tanks. The heat-retaining properties of ceramic are believed to support a stable fermentation environment, potentially contributing to greater clarity in the finished cup.
