Story
Banko Gotiti produces celebrated coffee in Ethiopia’s Gedeb district, where the legendary coffee-growing traditions of the Yirgachefferegion thrive. Sourced from small family farms, this lot comes from the Banko Gotiti Cooperative, an organization that split from the larger Worka Cooperative in 2012. With approximately 300 members, the cooperative is renowned for its meticulous cherry selection, ensuring exceptional quality. Coffee here is grown on small single-hectare farms, intercropped with other food crops—a traditional method that maximizes land use while providing sustenance for farming families. These farms are also worked organically (without certification) by default, relying on minimal, if any, chemical inputs, with most of the work done manually by the farmers and their families.
To take full advantage of the region’s ideal climate, the Banko Gotiti washing station provides training to help farmers improve their harvests, focusing on proper picking and transportation techniques. Cherries are selectively handpicked and delivered to the station, where they undergo further sorting to remove underripe or damaged fruit. With a rigorous post-harvest process and generations of expertise, Banko Gotiti produces some of the finest coffees in Ethiopia: floral, fruit-forward, and bursting with the complexity that defines Yirgacheffe’s best lots.

Farmers selectively handpick coffee cherries and deliver them to the washing station. At the station, employees hand sort incoming cherry to remove any under or over ripe, or damaged cherries.
The selected cherries are then laid out to dry in thin layers on raised beds for approximately 21 days. The station has 89 drying beds and each bed is marked with a code that makes it simple to keep track of traceability and processing status.
