Ethiopia Huke Banko Gotiti

The Huke washing station, owned by Testi Trading and operated by the Yonis family and their team, plays a pivotal role in producing this exceptional coffee. Our friend Jared at Hacea Coffee Source has been sourcing coffee from Faysel Yonis since 2015, a testament to the long-standing partnership and consistent quality of these beans. The Huke washing station processes cherries from over 600 smallholder growers in the Gotiti Kebele, Gedeb Woreda, Gedeo Zone. The coffee is meticulously washed: after depulping, it ferments for 36–48 hours, is soaked overnight in clean water, and then dried on raised beds under the sun.

Testi Trading’s commitment to community development is evident through their Project Direct initiatives. They have funded and constructed multiple primary schools and established the first-ever high school in Hamasho, a small town in Sidama, improving access to education for local children.

Sourced from altitudes of 1,950–2,150 meters above sea level, this coffee is grown by smallholder farmers cultivating indigenous heirloom varieties. Its premium Grade 1 status and washed processing method result in a vibrant, meticulously crafted cup.
