Evoking notes with Wine Gums
Fruit candy, violet florals, tropical fruit like mango and banana
The distinctive flavours of these Ethiopian coffees remain timeless and captivating. For many, Ethiopian coffee marks the beginning of their journey into the world of specialty coffee. This particular batch is sourced from the Danche Washing Station, which gathers cherries from 742 farmers cultivating 1-2 hectare plots at elevations of 2000-2300 meters above sea level.
The name "Diima," meaning "red" in the native Oromiffa language, perfectly captures the coffee's vibrant character, evoking notes of intensity, wine gums, violets, and tropical fruits like mango and banana in every cup.
Danche Washing Station
Nestled in the highlands of Chelbesa, Danche, stands as a testament to exceptional coffee production. Owned by our esteemed partners at SNAP COFFEE and proudly certified organic, this station sources premium cherries from approximately 400 dedicated farmers. These farmers, cultivating their crops on fertile soils at altitudes ranging from 2000 to 2300 meters above sea level, benefit from ideal growing conditions and advanced farming practices, with individual farm sizes averaging 1 to 2 hectares.
The high altitude not only contributes to the unique and distinctive flavor profiles that Danche is renowned for but also results in a later-than-usual harvest season. This extended maturation period allows the cherries to develop superior quality and complexity.
The experienced team at Danche Washing Station brings a wealth of knowledge in agronomy and agriculture, enabling them to innovate and refine processing methods continuously. This expertise and commitment to excellence ensure that each batch of coffee from Danche is nothing short of extraordinary.
The coffee from the late 2023 harvest reveals delightful notes of blackcurrant and rosehip, combined with a persistent and bright acidity. This makes it an excellent choice for a filter coffee or a lively espresso, showcasing the finest qualities of Kenyan coffee.
