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.
