Apricot Glaze, Gotiti Washing Station, Ethiopia, Washed 74110/74112

Tasting notes

In the roaster’s words

Strawberry laces and apricot sweetness with classic Ethiopian florals (jasmine, black tea) and even notes of honey and thyme in this wonderful wet washed lot from Gotiti washing station in the south region of Yirgacheffe. We've dialled this lot on our DR-12 a touch closer to medium light than our other Ethiopians to give it some body for espresso, but still plenty light enough for delicious filter. You could call it on the lighter side of omni, similar to Moon Peach or Liquid Lava if you enjoyed either of those from us last year. Makes for an elegant, moreish house coffee, or a batch that your baristas won't stop drinking (don't stop them they need it).

This station was established in 2022 on a two-hectare plot of land. Since its inception, it has steadily developed, with long-term plans for expansion, including underground water sourcing, the installation of artificial dryers, site expansion, and solar tunnel installation. The station employs six permanent staff members, six seasonal workers, and 244 temporary workers. Annually, the station processes approximately 500–600 tons of cherry coming from 868 farmers and their small coffee gardens. Primarily grown are coffee varieties such as 7454, 74110, 7440, and 74112. The station follows strict water management and traceability practices, reducing water use, separating coffee pulp from wastewater, and implementing efficient record-keeping from farm to export. Eva Gotiti Wet Coffee Processing Station follows the washed coffee processing method, which involves several detailed steps to ensure premium quality. The process begins with sieving to remove debris like leaves and stones. The cherries are then washed and pulped to separate the fruit from the beans. Next, they undergo fermentation in water tanks under controlled temperatures to remove the mucilage. After fermentation, the beans are washed again before being dried in parchment form. Quality control is maintained by monitoring temperature, bean size, color, and odor to ensure consistency. Coffee traceability is also a priority, ensuring each lot is recorded, processed, stored
