Rose water.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBanko Gotiti sits between 1,950 and 2,200 meters in the hills of Yirga Cheffe — high enough that the cherries ripen slowly and the sugars have time to concentrate. The mill buys from roughly 320 smallholder farmers, most working two hectares or less. The wet-process coffee is turned by hand, and defects are culled one bean at a time before it ever reaches the drying beds. That care is why this lot cups at 93.5 — a score I have seen on very few washed Ethiopians.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the cup it opens with jasmine in full bloom; the aromatics arrive before the coffee does. The body is clean and transparent — closer to a fine tea than to a heavy breakfast cup — with a sweetness that reads as agave and golden plum. As it cools the tropical side steps forward: guava, mango, honeydew, a flash of pineapple candy, finishing on lemonade and rose water.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI roast this to City+ — light enough to keep the florals intact, developed enough that the sugars aren't green. Same philosophy as the Gesha: get out of the coffee's way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Jasmine, Gardenia, Rose Water, Golden Plum, Guava, Pineapple Candy, Lemonade\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWashing Station:\u003c\/strong\u003e Banko Gotiti (~320 smallholder farmers)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Banko Gotiti, Yirga Cheffe, Ethiopia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAltitude:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1,950-2,200 MASL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVarietal:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ethiopian Heirloom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProcess:\u003c\/strong\u003e Washed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRoast Profile:\u003c\/strong\u003e Light (City+)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCupping Score:\u003c\/strong\u003e 93.5 (Sweet Maria's)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo sizes: 125g to try it, 250g if you already know you'll finish it.
