Description
Banko Gotiti is a small town in the south of Gedeo County, in Kochere, Yirgachefe. The washing station there processes coffee cherries from surrounding smallholder farmers who cultivate coffee on single-hectare plots. This traditional model of coffee cultivation and processing remains deeply rooted in the region.
The region’s reddish-brown soil is highly fertile and rich in nutrients. Combined with the altitude of the farms, this contributes significantly to the unique aromatic profile of this coffee.
After meticulous selection of the cherries, they are fermented in an anaerobic environment, pressurised, and without oxygen. Fermentation lasts between 7 and 10 days, at a temperature of between 15 and 18°C. During this time, the plant’s employees monitor the sugar levels to ensure the best possible result.
The coffee is then transferred to the station’s drying beds, where it rests in the shade for between 15 and 20 days. The cherries are stirred regularly to ensure good air circulation and avoid over-fermentation. When the coffee reaches 11% humidity, it is ready for export.
