Eva Gotiti Wet Coffee Processing Station is a coffee washing facility located in the South Region of Ethiopia, within the Gedeo Zone, Gedeb Wereda, Gotiti Kebele. The station follows strict water management and traceability practices, reducing water use, separating coffee pulp from wastewater, and implementing efficient record-keeping from farm to export.

Eva Gotiti Wet Coffee Processing Station follows the washed coffee processing method, which involves several detailed steps to ensure premium quality. The process begins with sieving to remove debris like leaves and stones. The cherries are then washed and pulped to separate the fruit from the beans. Next, they undergo fermentation in water tanks under controlled temperatures to remove the mucilage. After fermentation, the beans are washed again before being dried in parchment form. Quality control is maintained by monitoring temperature, bean size, color, and odor to ensure consistency. Coffee traceability is also a priority, ensuring each lot is recorded, processed, stored, and shipped separately.

The station is committed to environmental and social responsibility, providing coffee seedlings to the community, financial support to underprivileged farmers, and premium payments based on coffee deliveries. These efforts not only enhance sustainability but also strengthen the relationships between farmers and the washing station.
