Samii Chelbesa Danche Organic #2 is our final Ethiopian release for 2022 and we’re so excited to share this coffee with you. It’s sweet, bright, perfumey, and elegant - all the qualities that made us first fall in love with washed Ethiopian coffees.
The farmers of Danche washing station allow the coffee cherries to ripen well before they harvest, enhancing its sweetness.
The station manager, Girum Assefa, pays careful attention to site management and coffee processing. These details no doubt contribute to this coffee’s layered complexity.
We hope you’ll enjoy this coffee as much as we do!
