About Banko Gutity Village

In the heart of southern Ethiopia, the village of Banko Gutity lies within the Gedeb region, where the Gutity River nourishes the surrounding farmland. Here, 2,400 smallholder farmers cultivate coffee in their backyards, drawing on generations of expertise. Coffee in Ethiopia is naturally organic, as the native landrace varieties thrive without synthetic fertilizers or pesticides.

This particular variety is known for its small bean size, but don’t let that deceive you, these beans pack an incredible depth of flavor. Grown at high altitudes, they develop bright acidity and complex fruit characteristics, resulting in a beautifully balanced and vibrant cup.

The Supernatural Process

This coffee undergoes an innovative supernatural process, an advanced take on traditional natural drying methods designed to enhance depth and complexity. After careful hand-picking, the ripest cherries are floated in water to remove defects before being spread across African drying beds. Unlike standard natural processing, supernatural drying involves layering three levels of cherries, allowing moderate fermentation to develop in the lower layers.

During the 19 to 21 days of drying, cherries are regularly turned by hand to ensure even moisture loss. Techniques such as overnight plastic wrapping and shade drying help regulate fermentation, intensifying the coffee’s fruit-forward characteristics and contributing to a uniquely rich and expressive cup.

Once the cherries reach their ideal moisture content of 10–12%, they are transported to Addis Ababa for further processing. The journey from cherry to export-ready coffee includes pre-cleaning, hulling, polishing, and meticulous sorting by size and density. Defective beans are removed using advanced color sorting technology before the final batch is sealed in GrainPro bags to preserve its freshness.
