This red honey from the Konga Washing Station in Ethiopia is a team favorite. Its vibrant character, with intense notes of apricot, was what made it a unanimous favorite at the cupping table. The cherries undergo 24 hours of aerobic fermentation, followed by 24 hours of anaerobic fermentation. They are then pulped and dried on raised beds in the shade for about 15 days. The result leans definitely more toward a washed than a natural profile.

In the cup, notes of apricot jam, peach, and prosecco.

Dak was born from a true passion for coffee and the desire to embark on a journey of endless discovery. We are located in Amsterdam.

We select our coffees based on their unique tasting profiles and, of course, their 100% traceability. We partner with importers who share our values and roast each of our coffees carefully to bring out the best flavors they have to offer.

We roast on an IMF machine that provides a high degree of control and consistency in our roasts. The machine uses a convection system that allows the coffees to be properly developed in a shorter time. The result is clean, bright, and sweet coffees.
