Gotiti Cooperative
There are so many cooperatives in Ethiopia! The coffee beans processed by each cooperative have their own different characteristics. Among them, the coffee beans produced by Guodingding Cooperative, Konga Cooperative, Woka Cooperative, Hefusha Cooperative and Idido Cooperative are deeply loved by domestic specialty coffee consumers. The Guo Ding Ding Cooperative is located in the Woka production area at the southeastern end of Yirgacheffe. It was originally part of the Woka cooperative under the Yigacheffe Union YCFCU. Later, as people pursued the traceability of green coffee beans, "single production areas" were discovered one by one by coffee hunters around the world.
In 2012, Guodingding, which has about 300 farmers as members, independently established the "Guodingding Cooperative". Guodingding Village was the first village area to be independent. Many small farmers were also members of the original Woka Cooperative, so the technology for coffee production was not a problem. The Guodingding Cooperative is known as the last pure land of Yirgacheffe, so the processing method of raw beans is also very traditional (washing and sun-drying).
Let’s briefly introduce the washing process: after the coffee cherries are harvested, they will be flotated to pick out the bad fruits; then the beans that have passed the screening will be peeled by a machine to remove the skin and pulp; then the green beans with part of the pulp and pectin will be thrown into the water for fermentation. After fermentation for about 24 hours, they can be taken out and cleaned; after washing, the sun-drying step can be carried out to reduce the moisture content of the beans to about 12%. Finally, the parchment paper is removed, and the washing process is complete!
This gives the flavor of Front Street washed diced coffee beans a citrus-like fresh acidity, white floral aroma, honey-like sweetness and a green tea-like aftertaste.
