The Danche Station is in Chelbessa, a region in
Yirgacheffe, Ethiopia is managed by SNAP Specialty Coffee. The approximately 800 farmers that deliver cherry to this washing station, come from the region and have between 2 and 3 hectares of land sitting at an elevation of 2,200 m.a.s.l. on average. Once cherries arrived at the Station, they are placed in water for sorting and removing floaters. The washing station produces washed, honey, and natural
coffees. For this natural coffee, the whole cherry is left to
dry-ferment in tanks for 3 days, and later placed in raised beds to sun-dry. The cherries are constantly moved each day, taking 16-21 days to fully dry. SNAP was founded in Addis Ababa by Negusse in 2008 and operates 7 washing stations in various regions such as Sidama, Yirgacheffe, and Guji. SNAP has three fundamental pillars--Consistency, Education, and Sustainability. In 2025, their team of agronomists trained more than 6,000 farmers in land and nursery management as well as climate-smart agriculture through crop diversification and intercropping.
