The Natural Fair Trade Organic Coffee of the Ethiopian Gottingtin Cooperative, this naturally processed coffee comes from family farms around the Banko Gotiti Cooperative in southern Gedeb, Ethiopia. Banko Gotiti Cooperative, founded in 2012, is an independent entity, working with the larger famous Worka Cooperative, and we have had coffee for the past few years. Currently, there are an estimated 300 members in cooperatives, and this number is expected to increase steadily. In 2005, Worka joined the Yirgacheffe Coffee Farmers' Cooperative Union (YCFCU), which was established in 2002 to promote the sustainable coffee supply of cooperatives in the Gedeo region of Ethiopia. There are a total of 25 YCFU-related cooperatives with more than 35000 collective members.

This coffee is organically certified and fair trade. In some cases, coffee farms are very high above sea level-the highest in the world in terms of coffee cultivation.

Washing / solarization in Guodingding Village, Ethiopia

Ethiopia Yirgacheffe Gotiti G1-Wash/Natural

The Guodingding processing Plant-Alim Bukato (Banko Gotiti- Alemu Bukato), together with the Godding Cooperative, is located in what can be said to be the quintessence of the generalized Yega Sherphine region, that is, the Gedeb area (if it is classified according to the producing area of ECX, it belongs to Cochalie Kochere).

In the traditional sun treatment process, after the farmers send the coffee berries to the processing plant, they will spread the African-style scaffolding directly for 2-3 weeks, during which the unripe berries will be manually removed and rely on experienced workers to stir them regularly. After the completion of the sun, the pulp and pods (sheep skin) are removed and stored in the warehouse until the moisture content is reduced to 11-12%.

The washing process is to use the planer to remove the pericarp / pulp of the berry.

Leave it in the fermentation tank for 1-3 days until the pectin layer decomposes (depending on the local temperature and humidity), then the shelled beans will be washed through the washing channel for 30-60 minutes.

At this time, through the channel design combined with water erosion, the beans with low specific gravity and poor quality can be removed, and then the high quality beans with shells can be placed in an African scaffolding to dry for about 14 days. after drying, the beans will be stored in the warehouse of the treatment plant before export. before export, the shell beans will be transported to the Dry Mill (dry treatment plant) to be shelled, and through a series of complicated screening processes such as foreign body removal, silver peeling and polishing, gravity screening, color selection and so on. Finally, it is bagged and exported.
