Banko Taratu 74110, 74112 [Washed]
— Ethiopia
This coffee was processed at the Banko Taratu Washing Station, in the town of the same name.The coffee is grown in the surrounding area by around 500 small-holder farmers in rich, fertile soils at very high altitudes. Coffee trees are planted amongst the family's food crops.
During harvest, cherries are selectively hand-picked before being delivered to the washing station. There they are sorted for over or under-ripe cherries, de-pulped, wet fermented for 12-48 hours, washed, soaked then placed on raised beds to dry.
