Ethiopia - Banko Gotiti - Washed

Banko Gotiti is a small municipality located on the eastern edge of the Gedeb district, part of the highly-coveted Gedeo Zone, a narrow section of plateau dense with savvy farmers whose coffee is known as “Yirgacheffe”, after the zone’s most famous district. The Gedeb district is more remote than the rest of Gedeo, and somewhat more transient: its namesake city of Gedeb is a bustling trade outpost that links far-reaching commerce between Gedeo and Guji zones. And, it must be mentioned, Gedeb also produces some of the most beautifully crisp and floral fully washed coffees one can find anywhere in Ethiopia. The coffee producing communities throughout Gedeb are larger here than in central Gedeo and can reach some of the highest growing elevations for coffee in the world.

This lot we enjoyed for its sweetness and vibrant fruit and acidity.
