Gargari Gatuti washing station is a cherry processing facility in Banko Gedeb, specialising in experimental processes. This anaerobic natural microlot is sourced from local smallholder farmers whose cherries are processed centrally at the station. Gargari Gutiti sits at 1983masl and is notable for its highly strict and uncompromising standards. The farmers in this region typically cultivate Jarc 74110, 7412 and 74165, sub-varieties of traditional Ethiopian heirloom varieties on small garden plots around their homes. This lot is naturally processed with an extended anaerobic cherry fermentation in vacuum sealed drums.

This lot utilised a double carbonic maceration fermentation in stainless steel tanks - one cherry fermentation and a second after pulping with fresh pomegranate juice. Ripe coffee cherries are introduced to the tank and CO2 is flushed to create an environment without presence of oxygen (anoxic). The cherries are fermented in this environment for 5 days (120 hours.) The cherries are then removed and de-pulped but the leached liquor from the fermentation is preserved. The pulped coffee is then fermented a second time with a leached liquor from the first fermentation as well as fresh pomegranate juice. This second fermentation takes 3 days. Finally the coffee is dried on raised beds as a honey process until the optimum moisture content has been reached.
