Horsham Coffee Roaster - Ethiopia Yirgacheffe Gutiti - Natural

Gutit is a small region within the Yirgacheffe zone. Many coffees are still sold with traceability just to Yirgacheffe but in the last few years traceability has greatly improved down to small regions within the larger area. The Gutiti washing station produces both washed and natural processed coffee. Natural processing is done by drying the coffee cherries with the fruit on which means the coffee beans absorb much more of the dried fruit flavours than you would expect from a washed coffee.

There are around 700 small hold farmers linked to the washing station and each farmer has on average 2 hectares of land. Ripe cherries are harvested from their trees and delivered to the washing station of processing.
