Lot Information

The Producer

Ranger, the station's owner, oversees the operations at Banko Gotiti. This station sits at an elevation of 1980 masl and is located near Gedeb Town in Gedeo. Renowned for its heavy, intense, floral and stone fruit flavours, the station sources cherries from around 780 local farmers that grew their coffees at an altitude of 1950 to 2300 masl.

The Lot

The cultivars grown by the smallholders are mainly Welisho and Kurume. After being hand-picked the coffee cherries are mechanically pulped in order to remove both the skin and residual pulp. During that phase, the cherries are also graded based on density. After that, the coffee is fermented under water for around 48 hours to be then graded again in water channels in order to keep the denser, higher quality beans. The parchment is then soaked in clean water for approximately 2 hours, and then dried on raised beds for 8 to 20 days. Finally, hand sorting is conducted for 2 to 4 hours.
