Three Marks - Gedeb Gotiti, Ethiopia 250g

Gedeb Gotiti Natural Organic coffee is named after the Gotiti village, where cherries are harvested.

Gedeb is a district in Ethiopia’s Gedeo zone, bordered by Kochere, Yirgacheffe, Bule woredas, and the Oromia region.

Yirgacheffe is considered the birthplace of coffee, with coffee trees naturally intermingling heirloom varieties in coffee gardens and forests.

This area offers ideal conditions for exceptional coffee production due to its topography, elevation, and water sources. Located in the Southern Nations, Yirgacheffe is home to multi-generational small-scale coffee farmers. Most of its coffee is sold as cherries to centralized washing stations, allowing for distinct flavor profiles.

Smallholder producers from Gotiti deliver their cherries to METAD’s collection point in Gotiti. METAD is a family-run business with a coffee heritage spanning generations, established this program to support local coffee-growing communities, now boasting over 6,500 members in Hambela and Gedeb regions.

There are 14 farmer associations, each named after its kebele, with 7 in each region. Growers in the program receive comprehensive training from METAD’s team.

This Gotiti kebele coffee is grown at elevations between 1950–2000 meters above sea level and is processed using the Natural method, with drying on raised beds.

Three Marks

Three Marks Coffee, located in the vibrant city of Barcelona, Spain, was founded in 2018. The coffee roastery and shop is named after its three co-founders: Marc Aguyé, overseeing store management; Marco Paccagnella, in charge of brand marketing; and Marco De Rebotti, responsible for all things coffee. Three Marks work to create a welcoming environment for customers from all walks of life. The co-founders believe in building friendly relationships and fostering a sense of joy and belonging within their coffee shop.

The trio behind Three Marks met in Nomad – a speciality coffee shop in Barcelona. Marc Aguyé was the manager, Marco De Rebotti was a roaster, and Marco Paccagnella was a customer of Nomad, who also rented a studio space above the cafeteria. Three Marks Coffee is the product of a chance encounter of the three.

Despite the initial coincidence of their collaboration, the three co-founders share a common passion for coffee. De Rebotti’s enduring love for the industry is evident in his continuous exploration of new cafes, varieties, and recipes.

Marco De Rebotti had dreams of opening his own coffee shop. In 2004 he relocated from Italy to London to work as a hair stylist on fashion shows. Not knowing anyone in London, he would spend his days in coffee shops, which was where he first took note of the nuances of coffee. He then relocated to Barcelona where he spent 3.5 years working as a coffee roaster at Nomad, and a brewer at another coffee shop.

”Before the three of us started Three Marks, we promised to each other to make a special cafe. We wanted to achieve a high level in everything, not just the taste of coffee but also how we serve customers, how we present coffee and what music to play in the shop. Our ideal is for each of us to concentrate on our own strengths and perform our work to perfection.”
— Marco De Rebotti, co-founder
