This Grade 1 microlot coffee is sourced from smallholder farmers surrounding the Banko Gotiti processing station in the Gedeo Zone of Ethiopia. Grown at altitudes between 1,900 and 2,300 meters, this coffee features the 74110 and 74112 cultivars. It undergoes a unique 'Supernatural' process involving a 24-hour cold-water fermentation followed by extended sun-drying on raised beds. The resulting cup is vibrant and fruit-forward, characterized by distinct notes of blueberry and strawberry with a candy-like sweetness and clean finish.
