Ethiopia | Yirgacheffe Danche | Heirloom Red Honey Grade 1

Ethiopia | Yirgacheffe (Danche) | Heirloom Red Honey Special Preparation G1

From the highlands of Yirgacheffe in Ethiopia, this Danche Red Honey is a standout example of what happens when traditional Ethiopian terroir meets careful, modern processing.

Grown between 1,950–2,200 MASL, cherries mature slowly in cool, high-altitude conditions, developing dense structure and layered sweetness. Smallholder farmers handpick only ripe fruit before delivering it to the Danche washing station, where each lot is carefully sorted and measured for optimal sugar content.

This coffee is processed using a Red Honey method, still rare in Ethiopia. After depulping, much of the sticky fruit mucilage is intentionally left on the bean and dried slowly on raised African beds under shade. This extended drying phase allows sugars to stabilise and integrate, resulting in a cup that sits beautifully between washed and natural styles.
