From DAK   I think we could have only washed Ethiopian in our lineup and we would be fulfilled, especially when you have Darling in it. This anaerobic washed from Danche Washing Station is very bright, crisp acidity and expressive. Tasting notes of wild flowers, peach & ice tea.

Sourced from the Danche Washing Station in the Gedeb region of Ethiopia, this DAK Darling offering showcases the nuanced potential of Heirloom varietals. Roasted by Revolver Coffee, the lot undergoes an anaerobic washed process, a technique that often influences the final cup profile by subtly altering the fermentation environment before drying. While processing methods vary widely, anaerobic techniques are frequently employed to enhance clarity and acidity.

In the cup, this coffee presents a delicate interplay of wild florals and stone fruit, reminiscent of peach ice tea. When evaluating such profiles, enthusiasts often consult a flavor wheel to identify the specific aromatic compounds that distinguish these high-elevation Ethiopian coffees. The combination of the region’s unique terroir and the controlled fermentation results in a clean, tea-like experience that highlights the inherent elegance of the heirloom cherries.
