This is a grade 1 natural processed coffee from Banko Gotiti wetmill in Kochere district, Yirgacheffe region, Ethiopia. Managed by Alemu Bukato, the mill processes cherries from around 650 smallholder farmers. The coffee is grown at 1900-2100 meters above sea level and features heirloom varietals. Shade-grown ripe cherries are dried in the sun on raised African beds for approximately 12-15 days, with periodic raking and turning to ensure consistent drying. The coffee is protected from sun damage during midday and covered at night. Flavor notes include jasmine, white chocolate, and peach.
Outpost Coffee was founded in Nottingham in 2013 as a small, focused specialty roastery. A training centre followed in 2015, and a coffee bar on Stoney Street opened in 2016 beneath the training room. Head roaster Chris tweaks profiles for each origin and varietal, typically offering coffees roasted for both filter and espresso. The roastery now supplies over 80 specialty coffee shops, hotels, restaurants, and offices across the UK. Their sourcing includes direct trade with indigenous communities, and packaging is fully recyclable with FSC certified shipping boxes and carbon neutral delivery. Milk at the café comes from The Duffield Dairy in Derbyshire.
