This lot from Banko Dhadhato is sparklingly clean with ripe fruit, delicate tea, and a lingering sweetness. Raspberry hits up front, evolving into stone fruit and black tea as it sits on the palate, leaving you with a delicate sweetness reminiscent of honeysuckle. The Banko Dhadhato is perfect for any coffee enthusiast looking to explore a lighter profile coffee with a more delicate body and lots of nuance. 

This lot is from Banko Dhadhato, an exceptional Fair Trade and organic certified cooperative that is part of the storied Yirgacheffe Coffee Farmers Cooperative Union (YCFCU). The members of each cooperative elect their own executive committee, which makes decisions about investments like new equipment and tree maintenance, but also creates plans for member social services, school support, public health, infrastructure, and how to structure payments to the co-op members. Juicy, clean, and bright, washed processed Ethiopian coffees are always some of our favorites to release each year, and this lot is no exception.
