PHILOCOFFEA 224 ETHIOPIA Gotiti Washed
The Gedeo district on the east side of the Gotiti region is divided into six districts, one of which is the Gedov district. It is 434 kilometers away from the capital Addis Ababa. Until a few years ago, it was a remote area that required nearly eight hours of driving. However, with the opening of the Ethiopia-Kenya highway in 2016, the travel time has been reduced to only three hours. This is a region of Ethiopia with an environment suitable for coffee production, with a quarter of the land being grown in coffee.
Gedeb district is divided into 16 administrative districts, one of which is Gočić. The Gochichi washing plant was launched in 2019 by Crop, a subsidiary of BNT, Ranger, with the aim of producing the best Yirgachev ever. We employ talented employees at commensurate wages and carry out the refining and drying process carefully. When drying, they work to thoroughly remove defective beans from the African beds and teach them to dry slowly.
The word BNT immediately comes to mind. This is a local Ethiopian exporter. They sell high quality coffee from Yirgacheffe and I imagine they are an exporter whose name you often hear in Japanese coffee shops.
Two presidents, Mr. Billy and Mr. Teddy. Teddy first accumulated experience in the coffee business in another company, and then invited his college classmate Bille (who was working in international development at the time) to found BNT. Since then, their motto has been [PAY FAIR GET FINNEST].
When the company was first established, the quality was not very good and financing was difficult. However, both love visiting customers and drinking coffee, so they always listen to their customers and constantly improve to create better coffee. Currently, we have signed exclusive contracts to purchase coffee with 45 washing plants in Yegachev, Sidamo, Guji and other places, and have many subsidiary washing plants. High quality and unique coffee is produced through an advance payment to farmers in a clean factory (pre-harvest), harvesting of ripe fruit, proper cleaning process, slow drying and high-precision sorting in our own threshing and refining factory. At the refinery, we have added a color sorter to further reduce the contamination rate of defective beans and are currently expanding the factory to increase space and production efficiency. Absorbing opinions and making continuous changes can improve quality.
Gotiti, which was popular last year, has more peach flavor this year than last year, and the refreshing sweetness is long-lasting and comfortable. The roast level is light roast. Shortening the roasting time resulted in a simple citrus flavor, so I adjusted the roasting time to be easier so you can get the stone fruit flavor too.
The smell of the ground beans made me think to myself, "Oh, I've been waiting for this." You will be healed by the gorgeous smell that is typical of Ethiopia. The refreshing taste of citrus and the freshness of peach. Even after cooling down, you can still taste the sweetness of honey and citrus, so take your time and enjoy it. Iced coffee also has a refreshing taste similar to lemon tea, which is perfect for this hot summer.
