Banko Gotiti Washing Station serves as a centralized processing facility for many smallholder farmers around the small town of Gotiti. Like much of Ethiopia, the coffees are grown on small, garden-style plots with immediate family members providing the labor necessary during harvest. The washing station offers training to all farmers who deliver their coffee, mostly focusing on harvest and transport procedures. Coffee is a crop that is seldom confined by national and international boundaries, and Bank Gotiti Washing Station is an interesting demonstration of that. Officially, according to political boundaries, the station is in the Gedeo Zone. But the terroir, microclimate, and flavor profiles of the coffees delivered to the station are much more reminiscent of a classic Yirgacheffe. This Natural from Banko Gotiti station is bursting with the delicate florals, jammy berries and warming chocolates we all know and love from Yirgacheffe.
