Fluffy Petals is the washed Ethiopia coffee that marks the beginning of a new harvest.

Directly selected by Dak Coffee Roasters at the Lalesa station (Gedeb), this lot perfectly captures the classic Ethiopian profile: floral, citrusy, and extremely clean.

Grown at 2150 meters above sea level, this coffee develops a bright acidity and very elegant aromatic complexity thanks to slow maturation and meticulous processing.

The result is a fresh, delicate, and very expressive cup.

Process

Processed using the traditional Ethiopian washed method, focused on clarity:

Manual harvesting and selection of ripe cherries
Pulping and density sorting
Fermentation underwater (~48–100h)
Washing and re-sorting in channels
Drying on raised beds (~8–20 days)

This process highlights florality, citrus, and transparency in the cup.

Dak was born from a true passion for coffee and the desire to embark on a never-ending journey of discovery. We are located in Amsterdam.

We select our coffees based on their unique cupping profiles and, of course, that they are 100% traceable. We partner with importers who share our values ​​and carefully roast each of our coffees to deliver the best flavors they have to offer.

We roast on an IMF machine which 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.
