Danche Washing Station is located in Chelbesa, Gedeo, and is managed by SNAP Coffee, a certified organic exporter focused on sustainability and quality. Around 400 smallholders in the area grow heirloom varieties at high altitudes of 2,000–2,300 masl, benefiting from rich soils and slow cherry maturation.This coffee is processed using the natural method. Ripe cherries are handpicked, carefully sorted, and dried on raised beds for 8 to 20 days. The result is a fruit-forward, clean and complex cup with high acidity and expressive aromatics.The coffee falls under the "Bildimoo" flavor profile—named after the red clay soils of the region—which highlights lactic, fruity, and spicy qualities such as lychee, pineapple, ginger, and cola. Alexandros Fouki personally selected this coffee during his visit to Danche in February 2025, recognizing it as one of the most elegant and fresh expressions of Ethiopia’s natural processing.SHORT STORY (GR) Ένας μοναδικός natural καφές από την περιοχή Chelbesa της Αιθιοπίας.
