2400+ is not just a physical altitude; for the coffee trees growing here, it means a greater temperature difference between day and night, a longer growth cycle, and more sugar accumulation. All of this represents a rarer and higher quality coffee.

Both the Haru and Danche processing stations were established by Negusse Debela. Located at a higher altitude atop Danche, the station's name comes from a landmark giant Warka banyan tree within its grounds. Warka banyan trees typically grow at altitudes of 1400-2500 meters, precisely in the high-altitude coffee-growing regions of Yirgacheffe, Guji, and Haru. With their straight, massive trunks, extremely wide canopies, and smooth, grey-white bark, they are iconic trees at the coffee processing plant, providing natural shade for the coffee drying beds and contributing unique and excellent flavors. Locals consider them sacred trees and never cut them down. Negusse Debela sources coffee from hundreds of smallholder farmers in the surrounding area. The high altitude and semi-forest shade contribute to their unique flavor profile. They employ perfect washing and natural processing, creating special experimental batches to continuously improve product quality. Landrace is a blend of native Ethiopian varieties, a result of natural selection and the accumulation of genetic diversity within the region, perfectly suited to the local terroir. During the cupping, you can feel the bright notes of jasmine and perfume lemon, the juicy sweetness of orange, and the aftertaste of Earl Grey tea.
