The Story Behind Banko Gotiti Coffee

The Banko Gotiti Cooperative is located in the village of Banko Gotiti within Ethiopia’s renowned Gedeb district, a region famous for producing exceptional specialty coffees. Here, smallholder farmers cultivate coffee at high elevations where cool mountain temperatures allow coffee cherries to mature slowly.

This slow maturation process helps develop deeper sweetness, brighter acidity, and more complex flavors in the beans. The farmers carefully harvest ripe cherries and deliver them to the cooperative where the coffee is washed and processed with attention to quality.

These traditional farming practices, combined with the region’s rich soil and ideal climate, produce coffees that express the unique terroir of southern Ethiopia. Each cup represents the dedication of the farming families who have cultivated coffee in this region for generations.

Fresh Roasted for Maximum Flavor

All of our coffees are roasted in small batches to ensure freshness and bring out the natural character of the beans. Careful roasting highlights the vibrant fruit notes, smooth chocolate undertones, and delicate aromatics that make Ethiopian Banko Gotiti coffee truly special.
