Context

The Ethiopia Yirgacheffe Gotiti G1, sourced by Onyx Coffee Lab, represents the collaborative output of 868 smallholder farmers located in the Gedeb district of the Yirgacheffe region. This specific lot is processed using the washed method, a technique often utilized to highlight the inherent clarity and acidity of high-quality beans. By removing the fruit flesh before drying, producers can emphasize the distinct terroir of the Ethiopian highlands.

When evaluating coffees from this region, enthusiasts often consult the flavor wheel to identify nuanced profiles that distinguish washed lots from other processing methods. While washed coffees are frequently celebrated for their clean, tea-like elegance and bright acidity, the specific character of a harvest is deeply influenced by the collective efforts of the local farming community.
