位於整個廣義耶珈雪啡區中可以說最精華的區域，也就是Gedeb區域(如果是以ECX的產區分類，則屬於科洽雷Kochere)。Gedeb位於耶珈雪啡的東南角落區，從耶家雪啡鎮一路南行約50公里，海拔從耶家雪啡鎮1,850m直上至處理廠已經來到2,030公尺，已可以說是整個耶家雪啡最高的區域。咖啡人往往以歌迪貝(Gedeb)稱呼這個區域，主要是因為這個區域最大的城鎮中心就以歌迪貝(Gedeb)為名。到了這裡，可以說已經到了最深遠的地帶，再往前行不到十分鐘，就會抵達沃卡(Worka)了，集萬千寵愛於一身的沃卡合作社就在這裡。不過，要抵達果丁丁，仍需繼續前行將近三十分鐘的車程，直到整個耶珈雪啡產區的最東南角，說是天涯海角還真不為過，不管是果丁丁私有處理廠阿立姆布卡托還是果丁丁合作社，離耶珈雪啡的邊境，都只有數百公尺之遠而已。
Banko Gotiti in Yirgacheffe district in the ‘Southern Nations, Nationalities & Peoples’ (SNNP) region of Ethiopia. Over a number of years the region has developed a distinguised reputation for fine coffees, producing some of the most sought-after microlots in the world. The combination of high altitude (up to 2,200m in some areas), fertile soil, consistent and plentiful rains, and an abundance of local knowledge are all contributing factors to the high status of Yirgacheffe coffees. The indigenous ‘heirloom’ varietals – which grow wild in Ethiopia – are responsible for the unique flavour notes which make for an unusual but beautifully refined cup, characterised by strong citric acidity, sweet chocolate and floral/herbal notes of lavender, jasmine, bergamot and thyme.
This washed processed coffee is sourced from the family owned farms organized around the Banko Gotiti Cooperative in the southern district of Gedeb, Ethiopia. The washing station is a cooperative, and a member of the umbrella Yirgacheffe Coffee Farmers’ Cooperative Union (YCFCU). Banko Gotiti split from the larger Worka Cooperative in 2012, forming independently as a small organization with just around 300 members. Cooperatives like Worka and Banko Gotiti benefit from the strong organizational structure of their umbrella union organizations and are exempt from going through the Ethiopia Commodities Exchange (ECX). This allows coffee buyers to pay premiums to farmers belonging to the union for better cherry selection at the washing station level.
