Dhilgee Danche Lot #12

Danche is a washing station located in Chelbesa, Gedeo. This station buys cherries from approximately 400 farmers* who produce good yields thanks to fertile soil and good farming methods. The farms sit at high altitudes (2000 – 2300 masl) and have an average size between 1-2 hectares. The elevated altitudes play a significant role in shaping the distinct flavour profiles produced at this washing station. Harvesting typically takes place later in the season compared to other regions, owing to its location. This prolonged cherry maturation period significantly contributes to the exceptional quality of the produce. Moreover, the team at the Danche Washing Station have a lot of experience in agronomy and agriculture, giving them the freedom to experiment effectively with new processing methods.

What is Turbo roast?

Turbo shot is a technique for pulling light roast, filter-profile coffees as espresso, using a coarser grind and higher flow rate to extract fully without the bitterness a slower, high-pressure pull would cause. This filter profile uses slightly extended development time to give that fast, high-flow extraction the balance and depth it needs to avoid tasting sour or underdeveloped.
