Danche is a small ​settlement within Chelbesa town in the Gedeb District, the source of this wet mill and coffee. Gedeb is a major coffee-producing area, known for its semi-forested shade canopy and altitudes ranging from 1900 to 2200 meters above sea level.

The Chelbesa washing station, built in 2019, is part of a group of stations run by SNAP Specialty Coffee. It features ceramic tile fermentation tanks designed to retain heat, which is crucial in this cold area. The coffee is fermented without water for 72 to 96 hours before washing and drying.

The station buys coffee from nearly 500 farmers in Chelbesa village, who typically manage small farms. This fully washed, wet process coffee from Chelbesa has clean floral characteristics reminiscent of the Yirga​cheffe region, due to its proximity​ which are balanced out by an intense stone fruit like juiciness and deep complexity. ​All of this makes Danche one of our favorite offerings of the year so far!
