Banko Gotiti is part of the greater Gedeb district, which is known for its gifted processing climate and exquisite coffees. In this lot, we taste a lot of tropical notes like mango and lychee, sweetness like caramel. Yum!
Banko Gotiti Station and Processing
The Banko Gotiti washing station represents a few hundred individual smallholders, each averaging 2 hectares apiece of farmland.
Washed coffee processing at Banko Gotiti is meticulous. Farmers deliver freshly picked cherries daily, which are hand-sorted for ripeness. The cherries are then weighed, depulped, and fermented overnight in fresh water before being rinsed and dried on raised beds for 12-15 days. During drying, the coffee is regularly rotated and covered at night to protect it from humidity. Once fully dried, the parchment is transported to Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia, for final milling and export.
