Ethiopia- Banko Gotiti Natural / Single Origin

Ethiopia Banko Gotiti Natural

Gedeb, Yirgacheffe, Ethiopia | Natural Process | 250g – $31

Overview:
This micro-lot from Banko Gotiti is a classic expression of Yirgacheffe’s legendary terroir—intensely aromatic, fruit-forward, and layered with floral complexity. Sourced directly from a collective of smallholder farmers committed to regenerative practices, it’s a coffee that honors both heritage and innovation.

Origin Story:
The Banko Gotiti community sits high in the Gedeb region, where heirloom varietals thrive under dense canopy and rich, organic soils. Our direct relationship with this collective ensures full traceability, fair pricing, and ongoing support for women-owned farms and sustainable cultivation.

Cultivation & Harvest:
Farmers handpick only the ripest cherries, using traditional methods passed down through generations. Agroforestry, composting, and shade management are central—preserving biodiversity and enriching the land for future harvests.

Processing:
A classic natural process: cherries are dried whole on raised beds in the crisp highland air, allowing sugars and fruit flavors to fully concentrate. This slow, attentive drying brings out the signature blueberry and jasmine notes that make Yirgacheffe coffees so prized by chefs and enthusiasts alike.

Tasting Experience:
Bursting with blueberry and wild honey, this cup is bright yet balanced, with a silky body and a lingering finish of jasmine and cocoa. It’s a sensory journey—clean, complex, and unmistakably Ethiopian.

Why Alpine Roasters:
Roasted fresh in Aspen, using solar-powered, carbon-negative methods. This coffee is a limited seasonal release, featured at Bosq Aspen and available only while the micro-lot lasts.
