Ethiopia Gotiti

This past January during Ethiopia harvest we get a call from Joel at Red Fox, he's on site and says he just found a unicorn. In coffee, this means a 90+ scoring coffee. Years ago, this was somewhat common in Yirgacheffe, one of the finest coffee producing regions in the world. But it has been many years since we've seen anything that high scoring. Until now. We told Joel to book us 10 bags on the spot, no matter the cost. 

This coffee has arrived and is roasting: welcome to Ethiopia Gotiti

Farmers here transport their coffee via mule or on foot to the washing station in Gotiti. This washing station started in 2023 on 2.5 hectares of land, currently processing an annual total volume between 500–600 tons of clean green coffee. 868 farmers deliver cherry to this washing station.

They meticulously wash, pulp, ferment and dry their coffees, leading to a superb final product. After processing, the coffee is stored safely to preserve the quality of parchment until it is moved to the dry mill. Fully dry parchment is packed in bags and either moved to the parchment store or bulked in conditioning bins.
