FROM THE ROASTER

CHERRIES ARE DEPULPED AND UNDERGO A 48-72 HOUR FERMENTATION DEPENDING ON THE TEMPERATURE. AFTER WASHING, THE PARCHMENT RESTS IN WATER FOR ANOTHER 12 HOURS BEFORE DRYING ON RAISED BEDS FOR 10-12 DAYS.

THIS IS DELICATE'S SECOND DANCHE SELECTION, ALSO PROCESSED AT CHELBESA MAIN STATION BY HABTAMU FIKADU. THE LONGER 48-72 HOUR FERMENTATION TURNS UP THE FRUITINESS DANCHE VILLAGE HAS TO OFFER: EXPECT MORE VIBRANT FRUIT AND SOME ADDED TEXTURE, WHILE STAYING VERY FLORAL WITH BERGAMOT OIL THAT LINGERS THROUGH THE FINISH. OVER DAYS OF TASTING WE HAVE EXPERIENCED NOTES OF PEACH RINGS, BERGAMOT, WATERMELON, RAW SUGAR, TANGERINE, DRIED APRICOT, AND YELLOW AND WHITE FLORALS.
