This Ethiopia Banko Gotiti is a single-origin coffee from the Gedeo Zone in Yirgacheffe. Produced by the Tracon Washing Station, this coffee is grown at an elevation of 1970 meters. It features the Serto 74112 variety and undergoes an anaerobic lactic fermentation process, where cherries are sealed in oxygen-free tanks for 96 hours before being dried on raised beds. The resulting cup offers a complex flavor profile with notes of strawberry, orange, and floral characteristics, balanced by a lively tropical nuance.
Methodical Coffee was launched in Greenville, South Carolina, in 2015 by a trio of friends David, Will, and Marco. They managed to blend Will’s background running a mobile coffee cart with Marco’s product design skills to build a brand that looks super elegant but feels totally warm and welcoming. Their roasting style is all about clarity and sweetness; they generally avoid the super-dark stuff in favor of clean, vibrant profiles that are easy to drink every single day. The packaging is famously beautiful, patterned and floral. It feels like the ultimate Southern hospitality take on specialty coffee.
