  • drying durationRaised-bed drying is documented without a lot-specific time range.

From the producer

868 smallholders in Gedeb woreda, generally farming plots under two hectares, deliver ripe cherry on foot or by mule to Gotiti Washing Station.

From the roaster

Onyx presents this archived Grade 1 Yirgacheffe release as an ultra-light washed landrace lot from 868 Gotiti smallholders, with peach, orange blossom, guava, and panela. Onyx's own objective cup score is 88; it is retained as roaster evaluation, not an owner or public-sentiment score.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

This high-elevation Grade 1 washed Yirgacheffe release provides station-level traceability to a facility established in 2023 and a documented collective of 868 smallholders. Its broad landrace designation is preserved without inventing a single cultivar.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Verified the exact station lot

Confirmed 868 Gedeb smallholders, Gotiti Washing Station, 2,050 meters, December harvest season, Grade 1 identity, washed processing, raised-bed drying, ultra-light roast, tasting notes, and recipes.

02
Reconciled structured commerce and grade fields

Added Grade 1, the $26 USD price for 10 oz/283 g, and sold-out availability from Onyx's exact archive and exact-release catalog corroboration.

03
Separated score types

Retained Onyx's 88-point objective cup evaluation only as roaster-originated sourcing information; no owner tasting score or independent public sentiment rating was created.

04
Audited independent evidence

Exact-release catalog pages report no reviews. AI-assisted summaries and seller pages were not treated as independent tasting reviews.

What was added?

Verified Grade 1, $26 structured price, sold-out status, exact-release evidence notes, and explicit score provenance.

What wasn't added?

No exact cultivar, crop year, fermentation duration, drying duration, bag-specific roast date, owner score, or independent public sentiment rating was inferred.

Why it matters

The record now aligns its structured grade and commerce fields with the exact Onyx archive while preserving the boundaries between roaster scoring, owner reviews, and public sentiment.

What you might taste

Onyx lists peach, orange blossom, guava, and panela; these are roaster-provided descriptors.

Coffee profile

In the database. Not tasted. Not scored.

This coffee is in our database because we can reliably document it — but we haven't tasted and scored it yet, and we never publish a score we haven't earned.

Outside reviews and internet discussion — is kept clearly separate from our own review. When we taste it, our full review appears here.

The internet pulse

What the internet is saying about this coffee

Research complete — no qualifying reviews yet

Our research pipeline scanned public reviews, videos, forums and discussions for this coffee (last pass 2026-11-07) and found no independent review of this exact release that meets our verification standards. When qualifying sources appear, they'll be published here.

What we found

The Press, Cuppd, and Beanwired preserve exact-release catalog details but do not provide qualifying independent customer tasting scores. Cuppd explicitly reports no reviews and identifies its description as AI-assisted from roaster data. Onyx's 88 is a first-party objective cup score and is not public sentiment. No qualifying independent exact-release rating remains.
