About Damo Village Washing Station of Ethiopia
This lot from Damo Village was processed with an anaerobic fermentation technique native to wine-making that slowly draws out flavor in each individual cherry as the CO2 penetrates the skins to affect unique chemical reactions. After controlled fermentation, the cherries are resurrected from their gassy chambers and laid to rest on raised beds.
"Damo Village is located in the Bensa woreda of the Sidama Zone of Ethiopia. Ardent Coffee Export processed coffee at a washing station where contributing local coffee farmers grow their coffee at 1,900 - 2,100 meters above sea level and categorized as “A” according to the current Ethiopian coffee designation. Established in 2008, fresh red cherries are processed by washed and natural (dry) methods as well as experimental methods like honey, anaerobic, and carbonic maceration. Training is also provided to farmers with emphasis on processing methods, re-using organic materials and fertilization, and water sanitation."

Voltage Coffee Project
The first chapter of Voltage Coffee began at 114 West Oak Street in 2014. The goal was to combine our love for the city and good coffee in a unique cafe on the Denton Square - Some place warm & inviting, a coffee shop for Dentonites to call their own.
Roughly a year after opening the doors at West Oak, we started down the path of roasting our own coffees. We focused on forging relationships with hard-working farmers across the globe that pushed the boundaries of biodiversity, business ethics, and flavor innovation. Though we have since rebranded under the Voltage Coffee moniker, our initial mission remains the same – Explore the experimental frontier of coffee and bridge the gap from farm to cup, building trust and friendships along the way.
With a few years of shop ops & roasting under our belt, we were ready to open our second & third concepts - Kimzey's and Trinity Street. One was a cafe with character inspired by Olde English cottages - The other sought to bring third wave coffee and cocktails to the hardworking people of small town Texas. Our vision is to open unique brands in every city we venture into, and we're grateful that the communities of Argyle & Decatur have welcomed us as their own.
In 2020, we moved our roasting equipment and offices to Decatur at the Roastaurant. Now, at the dawn of 2022, we've rebranded West Oak Coffee Roasting to exist under the name of our parent brand, Voltage Coffee. Our hope is that Voltage be known as the undercurrent of quality & stamp of approval on every project we touch - whether it's a bag of coffee or a new cafe concept.
We collaborate with farmers, roast coffee, and open unique concepts — All with the sole focus of creating community.
