From the roaster

This coffee was grown in the lush, high-altitude landscapes of Banko Gotiti, in the Gedeb woreda on the southern edge of Yirgacheffe. Cultivated by smallholders who typically tend plots of 1 to 2 hectares at 1950-2100 masl, these farmers maintain traditional ‘coffee gardens’ where landrace varieties are intercropped with false bananas and indigenous shade trees. This district is celebrated for producing some of the best Ethiopian coffees, with high elevations and agroforestry systems contributing to an elegant, expressive cup profile.
