Banko Gotiti Lot #1

The Banko Gotiti washing station was established in 2009. It is located in the Gedeo zone, Gedeb woreda and collects cherries from smallholder farms, each about 2 hectares in size and totaling 1300 hectares. Most of these farms are situated at elevations of 1950-2100 metres above sea level. The name Banko Gotiti refers to a specific coffee profile. Coffee production here is shade-grown and intercropped with agroforestry. Farmers grow indigenous trees and false bananas alongside their coffee plants. The current factory manager is called Museyid Sermelo. This coffee is facilitated through BNT Industry & Trading PLC, which operates its own warehouse and dry mill and is Rainforest Alliance certified.

What is Turbo roast?

Turbo shot is a technique for pulling light roast, filter-profile coffees as espresso, using a coarser grind and higher flow rate to extract fully without the bitterness a slower, high-pressure pull would cause. This filter profile uses slightly extended development time to give that fast, high-flow extraction the balance and depth it needs to avoid tasting sour or underdeveloped.
