The Banko Gotiti washing station and cooperative is named after the town it has close proximity to, but for years was a part of the larger Worka Cooperative. For those who remember the fabled naturally processed coffees from the early 2010s, Worka is a name that embodies big and intense fruit notes.  

Now, the washing station sees hundreds of smallholder farmers bring their smaller allotments each harvest season. Farms can be as small as 1/8 of a hectare. The varieties are mostly Ethiopia landraces, meaning naturally occurring.
