Ethiopia, Yirgacheffe, Gutiti

A very approachable balanced Ethiopia natural. This year the Gutity is an heirloom variety so it has an overall balanced red fruit cup without the complexity of last year, but with an increase in sweetness and overall body, and a seemingly high focus on red fruit flavors. Origin Roast

Roasting Notes: This year's Gutity being an heirloom variety is larger and more uniform, so I ended up extending the dry and mid by 15%. I kept the development phase the same as last year.
Sourcing Notes: This is another lovely Ethiopia natural from The Coffee Quest. Last year we sourced Gagari Gutity, this year that exact coffee was not available but they had the Gutity heirloom variety. I sourced this to be a Single Origin natural offering, to use in the Cactus Flower blend and possibly in the Little Bell once that becomes available again. This clean, consistent low quaker, high quality green for a natural it has a very balanced cup with lower acidity.
Coffee Info/Story: The Gutiti Natural Lot is produced at the Gutiti Washing Station station in Yirgacheffe, Ethiopia and managed by our partners SNAP Specialty Coffee. The approximately 600 farmers that deliver cherry to this washing station, come from the region and have between 2 and 3 Ha of land sitting at an elevation of 2,200 m.a.s.l. on average. This lot consists of the Kurume variety.
Once the cherries arrive at the Gutiti Washing Station, they are placed in water for sorting and removing floaters. The cherries are then placed on raised beds made of wood posts that are covered in burlap, and sun-dried for 14-20 days. During this time, the cherries are often moved to ensure an even drying.
This coffee lot is brought to you by SNAP Coffee, our producing partner in Ethiopia. Founded in Addis Ababa by Negusse in 2008, SNAP operates 7 washing stations in key coffee-producing areas like Sidama, Yirgacheffe, and the Guji Zone.
SNAP focuses its operation on three fundamental pillars – Consistency, Education, and Sustainability. It is within their purpose to improve the livelihood of supporting farmers, and last year their team of agronomists trained more than 6,000 farmers in land and nursery management, and climate-smart agriculture through crop diversification and inter-cropping.
