Over the last few years the Danche washing station in Chelbesa has continually produced coffee that stands out on the cupping table. Danche Washing Station is one of two washing stations in Worka Chelbesa Village in Gedeb owned by SNAP, export partners of our import partners Nordic Approach. The station buys cherries from over 700 farmers, each with an average of 1-2 hectares of coffee trees.

SNAP was established in 2008, it now runs three washing stations in Chelelektu, Kochere District of the Gedeo Zone and partnering washing stations in Uraga (Guji) and Nensebo (West Arsi). SNAP focuses entirely on specialty grade coffee production and does a lot of work to transfer the know-how to produce high quality coffee to farmers it buys cherry from. Additionally they are very environmentally conscious and have done great work with recycling waste and water reduction at their washing stations.

Diima means red in the Oromiffa language, and is an Ethiopian categorization of flavour that is used to indicate coffees that are intense, fruity and tropical. This year has been one of the best in recent memory for Ethiopian coffees, and this one is one of the best we’ve tasted this year. It has everything we look for in a naturally processed Ethiopian coffee, the “red” profile bringing big, juicy and tropical notes whilst retaining delicate and beautiful florals.
