It is owned by our partners, SNAP COFFEE, and is organic certified.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMoreover, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"harvest-post-harvest\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHarvest \u0026amp; Post-Harvest\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cherries are collected manually and hand sorted later. They are placed directly in the hopper that is connected to the pulping machine (a traditional Agaarde Disc Pulper). The coffee flows from the hopper down to the pulper, and the pulper removes the skin and pulp. The machine is designed to conduct grading of high and low quality (1st and 2nd), based on density.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe coffee is then fermented under water in tanks for an average of 72 hours, but any time frame between 48 - 100 hours is within the norm. The coffee is graded again in channels, so that the cherries of lower quality (with a lower density) will float. They are removed, leaving the denser, higher quality beans to be separated as higher-grade lots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe parchment is soaked in clean water and then dried on raised beds for approximately 8 - 20 days. The coffee is dried in layers of 2-8 cm, depending on the climate, the type of tables, and the stage of drying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the natural process, red cherries are harvested by surrounding farmers and delivered to the Danche station. The cherries are floated to remove any foreign material and floaters. After this, the cherries are placed on raised African beds for approximately 2 to 3 weeks for drying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"THE FIX COFFEE ROASTERS","offers":[{"title":"250g","offer_id":57417864511868,"sku":null,"price":17.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"1000g","offer_id":57417864544636,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0929\/0727\/4620\/files\/12df4ffe22439ac9a446833b20bd2d46.jpg?v=1788869313","url":"https:\/\/thefix.coffee\/en\/products\/dima-dance-12-ethiopia","provider":"THE FIX COFFEE ROASTERS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
