Banko Gotiti Washing Station

The Banko Gotiti Washing Station is located in the Gedeo Zone of Ethiopia, specifically within the Gedeb region of Yirgacheffe. Coffee cherries processed at this station are sourced from farms situated at altitudes ranging from 1870 to 2200 meters above sea level.

The station primarily processes heirloom varieties, which account for the vast majority of the lots represented in the catalog. A small portion of the production is categorized under other varietal classifications.

The processing portfolio at Banko Gotiti is divided between two primary methods. The station utilizes washed processing for the majority of its lots, while natural processing is also employed for a significant number of offerings.
