Ranging from 1850 - 2050 masl, Gitwe supports some 1,898 smallholder producers. Fig trees stand tall on either side of the hill, shading areas where Gitwe farmers are pioneering a way of irrigating their coffee by building water channels alongside their farms. The channels slowly irrigate their coffee trees and other crops; onion, sweet potato, maize, banana, cassava, beans and cabbage are grown alongside coffee. This coffee offers a dark berry and stewed fruit character, with the sweetness of canned peaches.
