Ethiopia Yirgacheffe Gargari Gutity - Filter

In southern Ethiopia, the village of Banko Gutity is situated near the Gutity River, which supports local coffee cultivation. Here, 2,400 smallholder farmers grow coffee in their backyards and bring their harvests to the Gargari washing station.

Coffee produced in Ethiopia is inherently organic; the native landrace varieties work in harmony with the ecosystem, offering organic fertilizer and natural pest management. This variety is renowned for its small bean size, but as the saying goes, good things come in small packages!  It boasts bright acidity and a rich, complex fruit profile, both of which are characteristic of the variety and its high-growing altitude.

The selected cherries are floated prior to being moved to African drying beds, where they undergo a drying and natural fermentation process lasting 19 to 21 days, depending on the weather conditions. Ongoing hand-picking and rotation are implemented to maintain quality and consistency, while supervisors utilize moisture measurement tools and other equipment to manage the process for the best possible outcomes.
