Ethiopia Banko Gotiti

This lot comes from small-scale producers in the village of Banko Gotiti, who grow coffee on small farms.

The coffee is harvested by hand on a selective basis and processed using the washed method, followed by drying on African drying beds, which ensure adequate ventilation and a slow, uniform drying process—key factors in preserving the quality of the beans.

The Yirgacheffe region, located in the Gedeo Zone in southern Ethiopia, is one of the world's most renowned origins of specialty coffee.

Its coffee-growing regions are located primarily between 1,700 and 2,200 meters above sea level, in a mountainous setting with fertile volcanic soils and high biodiversity. The climate is cool and humid, with well-distributed rainfall and moderate temperatures that promote the development of complex flavor profiles characteristic of the region.

Production relies almost exclusively on native Ethiopian (heirloom) varieties, grown by small-scale farmers on small family plots, generally under shade and using traditional farming practices. Yirgacheffe has built an international reputation for coffees with great clarity and elegant profiles, establishing itself as a historic benchmark in Ethiopian specialty coffee.
