Kelloo means “yellow” in the Oromiffa language. This concept represents that this coffee tastes like yellow tropical fruit, florals, peach and stone fruits. Our partners from SNAP own two washing stations in Worka Chelbesa village in Gedeb: Chelbesa and Danche. This particular coffee comes from Danche Washing Station, which buys cherries from 742 farmers that are 1-2 ha on average and that sit at high altitudes (2000-2300 masl). This particular lot consists of two old Ethiopian Landraces: Kurume and Wolisho and it is fully washed and then sun dried on African raised beds. All coffee is hand sorted a final time after drying before being prepared for export resulting in an outstanding cup profile.
Danche is a washing station located in Chelbesa, Gedeo. It is owned by our partners, SNAP COFFEE, and is organic certified. The 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.
