Lemon Squeeze is a bright and expressive washed coffee that perfectly embodies the classic character of Ethiopia's high-altitude coffees. This lot comes from the Rumudamo Washing Station, managed by Asefa Dukamo Korma in the Arbegona district of Sidama, one of the highest and most renowned coffee-growing regions in the country.

Grown at 2,300 meters by over 600 small producers, this coffee develops exceptional clarity thanks to the slow ripening of the cherries. After a 48-hour wet fermentation and traditional drying on raised African beds, the result is a clean, precise, and highly defined cup.

On the palate, a classic citrus profile dominates, where lemon provides freshness and energy, nectarine adds juicy sweetness, and wildflowers contribute aromatic elegance. A refined, bright, and transparent coffee, true to the DAK Coffee Roasters style, ideal for those seeking washed coffees with a clear identity and high definition.

Dak was born from a true passion for coffee and a desire to embark on an endless journey of 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 carefully roast each of our coffees to bring out the best flavors they have to offer.

We roast using 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 develop properly in a shorter time. The result is clean, bright, and sweet coffees.
