Ethiopia Yirgacheffe Banko Taratu Washed
If you're looking for a coffee that captures the birthplace of coffee itself, Ethiopia Yirgacheffe Banko Taratu Washed is a must-try. This coffee delivers an unmistakable expression of Ethiopian terroir—floral, tea-like, and bursting with bright citrus notes.
Meet Banko Taratu and the Yirgacheffe Region
Banko Taratu is a small cooperative nestled in Ethiopia’s renowned Yirgacheffe region, an area celebrated for its high-elevation coffee farms and complex flavor profiles. Sitting at 1,900 to 2,200 meters above sea level, this region’s altitude, combined with fertile soil and a traditional washed processing method, results in coffees with exceptional clarity and vibrancy.
This lot is cultivated by smallholder farmers who have inherited coffee-growing knowledge passed down through generations. These farmers handpick only the ripest cherries before delivering them to the Banko Taratu washing station, where meticulous processing ensures the coffee’s signature clean and bright character.
The Washed (Fully Washed) Process
Ethiopian washed coffees are known for their crisp, articulate flavors, and Banko Taratu is no exception. Once the cherries arrive at the washing station, they undergo careful depulping before being fermented in clean water for 36-48 hours. This controlled fermentation breaks down the remaining fruit mucilage, allowing for a bright, tea-like cup. The coffee is then washed thoroughly, sorted, and dried on raised beds for up to two weeks, ensuring even drying and development of delicate floral notes.
The result? A beautifully clean and complex cup, with jasmine-like florals, zesty citrus, and a silky mouthfeel.
