Danche
Danche Site, located in Yirgacheffe, is run by Habtamu Fikadu Aga. His work in coffee traces back to his grandfather Aga Dinsa, who harvested coffee on his farm in Kiru Kebele in 1945. In 2015, Habtamu Fikadu founded Kuri Mountain Coffee which handles Ethiopian coffee exports and manages several washing stations throughout the country, including Goro Site in Uraga, Guji, another stellar coffee we’ve carried this year.
This year’s harvest from Danche Site is exceptional. We taste a delicate burst of bright acidity and aromatic florals, reminiscent of hibiscus tea, jasmine, and bergamot. A crisp white-peach structure holds the cup from start to finish. Danche was one of our favorite coffees last year, and we’re excited to bring it back on the menu.

Sorting Level
5-6%
All our roasted coffees are run through an AI-powered optical sorter. This extra step ensures that you receive only the most nutrient-dense, flavorful coffees from each lot. The machine is also capable of removing any foreign objects (corn, metals, rope, to name a few) from the rest of the coffees.
The higher the percentage, the more coffee is being removed in order to achieve a truly pristine product. We liken this to how sake-makers "polish" during production in order to reach a higher-quality product.
Nothing goes to waste: the rejected coffees are re-roasted and sold to local markets.
