Nestled in the Gedeb region of Yirgacheffe, the Danche Station sits at an impressive 2,300 meters above sea level. Here, over 700 smallholder farmers, each tending to less than a hectare of land, cultivate heirloom varieties like Wolisho and Dega. These farmers handpick cherries at peak ripeness, ensuring only the best make their way to the station. Often, they journey an hour on foot, carrying their harvest to the station, a testament to their commitment and the community's deep-rooted coffee culture.
Besides the exotic varietal, the Red Honey processing method employed at Danche is a meticulous blend of traditional and innovative techniques. The cherries are pulped and place inside large plastic barrels equipped with an airlock system to create anaerobic fermentation that last for 72 hours. After depulping, a portion of the mucilage remains on the beans, which are then dried on raised African beds for 10 days. This method enhances the coffee's inherent sweetness and body, resulting in a cup that's both vibrant and complex. Expect tasting notes of lemon, jammy fruit, and delicate floral undertones, culminating in a clean, well-balanced finish.
At Society Coffee Roasters, we are always drawn to something magical, Danche's unique microclimate, characterized by its high altitude and fertile soil, plays a pivotal role in shaping the coffee's distinctive flavor profile. The combination of meticulous farming practices and precise processing techniques ensures that each cup offers a sensory journey, reflecting the region's rich coffee heritage. All that reflects in the cup and we would love you to experience the wonderful experience with us.
For those seeking a coffee experience that's both authentic and exceptional, Ethiopia Danche – Red Honey stands as a shining example of what dedication, tradition, and innovation can achieve in the world of specialty coffee.
