About the farmer(s)

Banko Gotiti Washed — Ethiopia

This lot was produced by members of the Banko Gotiti cooperative. This co-op has 300 members & was formed in 2012. The coffee is grown on small family plots averaging about one hectare in size.
At harvest, coffee is selectively hand-picked when perfectly ripe & delivered to the washing station that day. There cherries are sorted to remove defects, de-pulped, wet fermented for 24-48 hours & then sun-dried on raised beds for 10-14 days.
