Banko Gotiti - Washed Ethiopia

"Very sweet and balanced coffee with notes of honey, elderflower and apricot"

The Farm

Owned by our export partners RAD, this Banko Gotiti resort is nestled in the Ethiopian mountains. The Gotiti station, established in 2010, has a unique terroir shaped by the surrounding peaks of Qunashu, Dula Mezorya, Asgori Gara and Baya.

The station processes coffee from the 400 growers it works with, using fresh water from the nearby Qunashu River.

Washed Process

After harvesting, the cherries are sorted and then washed, before fermenting in tanks for 48 to 72 hours. 8 employees of the station are then responsible for washing the cherries with the utmost care.

After washing, the coffee beans are dried for between 7 and 10 days, depending on the weather, on raised beds, with the humidity of the beans monitored throughout the drying process.
