What Prolog Coffee says about this coffee
History
This is our second time purchasing coffee from Danche Washing Station, after our first lot in 2022 (Sami Danche Øko). Located in Chelbesa, Gedeb, the station is owned by SNAP Coffee and works with around 400 smallholder farmers growing coffee on small farms at 2,000–2,300 masl. SNAP builds long-term relationships with producers through agronomic support, quality-focused purchasing, and ongoing training, helping farmers improve both cultivation and processing while strengthening their access to the specialty coffee market.

Producer
Producers: danche washing station… part of a longer passage the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)
A further 1 fact on this page was read from part of the shop page that holds no sentence — a menu or a product grid — so there is nothing to quote for it.
Taken from the roaster’s own pages, and nothing here has been verified by us or by an independent body. What we store is a passage of page text cut around the fact, so one shown with an ellipsis is a passage we cannot see the start or the end of; only the fully quoted ones are complete sentences.
