Ethiopia | Banko Gotiti

From Banko Gotiti in Kochere, Gedeb, this Ethiopian Landrace grows at 2,000–2,100 MASL on small forested plots worked by 868 farmers delivering to the newly established Eva Washing Station. The washed process—cherry flotation, underwater fermentation for 24–48 hours, thorough rinsing, and 10–15 day bed drying—yields a clean, refreshing cup. Tropical citrus and lemongrass lead the profile, cooling into peach rings and honey for a balanced finish. This is Ilse's first Ethiopian release from the December 2025 harvest, sourced from a station built on traceability and direct farmer relationships.
