Ethiopia: The Magical Land of Premium Coffee

Ethiopia is a magical continent that nurtures world-renowned specialty coffee, making people unable to resist its charm. Among these, FrontStreet Coffee's Yirgacheffe has always been one of the highest quality coffee producing regions in this country. The coffee produced there has rich floral aromas, subtle citrus acidity, and delightful flavors of tea and lemon, which I have always deeply appreciated. Perhaps many consumers say they cannot experience such flavors, but I believe that as long as you drink more, you will definitely be able to perceive them.

Banko Gotiti Cooperative

Today, I'm introducing the Banko Gotiti Cooperative in the southern part of Yirgacheffe Gedeb. Gotiti Village was one of the earliest village areas to be independently established a few years ago (Banko Gotiti became independent from the large Worka Cooperative in 2012). Many individual small-scale farmers were originally members of the Worka Cooperative, so their coffee production skills are naturally unquestionable. Currently, there are about 300 member farmers who are all excellent, experienced, and wise farmers!

Each person can harvest an average of 1 to 2 hectares of farmland, with most using traditional natural processing methods. The Worka Cooperative is located in a remote area within the Yirgacheffe production region, 75 kilometers away from the local coffee distribution center of Dilla town. Initially, the cooperative was formed by 305 farmers with a planting area of about 763 hectares and an annual output of nearly 460 tons, making it a relatively small-scale farmers' cooperative. Because no chemical fertilizers or pesticides were used during the coffee cultivation process, the Worka small farmers also obtained Skal organic coffee certification recognized by the European Union. These coffees not only have organic and fair trade certifications, but some even come from coffee trees as high as 2,300 meters. Such unique terroir conditions have created these unparalleled Ethiopian coffee flavors.

Brewing Recommendations

How should FrontStreet Coffee's Yirgacheffe Gotiti be brewed to taste its best? FrontStreet Coffee recommends pour-over brewing: Use a V60 dripper with a 1:15 coffee-to-water ratio, 15g of coffee grounds. Extraction method - first pour 30g of water and let it bloom for 30 seconds; after blooming, use a small water stream to pour in a circular motion to 125g, wait for the water level to drop to halfway, then use a large water stream to pour in a circular motion another 100g to 225g and stop pouring. When the extraction time reaches 2 minutes, remove the dripper.

This extraction method highlights the bright citrus-like acidity of FrontStreet Coffee's Yirgacheffe Gotiti, with distinct flavor layers. The front notes feature strawberry and sweet orange flavors with clear, uplifting citrus acidity; the middle notes reveal floral aromas and sugarcane-like sweetness; the finish is rounded and smooth with a brief tea-like sensation.
