Sourced through Falcon Specialty, who shared the following overview: 

The natural Danche Yirgacheffe  comes from the Worka Chelbesa area, located in the Gedeb district. This region is characterized by its dense, semi-forest vegetation, including shade-grown coffee trees and false banana plants, creating ideal agroecological conditions for high-quality coffee production. 

Neguesse (the producer) started operating his first site in Worka Chelbesa in 2017, expanding in 2019 to acquire another washing station a few kilometers away in a sub-area of Worka Chelbesa, called Danche.  The two sites produce immaculate washed and natural processed coffees, highly regarded for exceptional quality with a distinct flavour, combining a great juicy body with lighter citrus tones and a tea-like finish.
