Guji

●●●●●

Strong + Fruity

Coffees grown in Guji were previously classified as ‘Sidamo’ or ‘Yirgacheffe’, (a very wide geographical classification encompassing much of central-south Ethiopia), however have now been separated and recognised for their unique and distinctive cup profiles. This distinctiveness is driven by the unique local varieties and microclimates.

Guji coffees are organic by default and hand picked and hand processed with love and care resulting in exquisite cup profiles. Juicy and clean with balanced acidity that does well in both filter and espresso.

This Ethiopia Guji is grown by multiple small-lot holders and families in the Guji region. Coffee is grown in the shade of false banana, Besana and Berbera trees, which allows for native insects, birds and wildlife to thrive along side the plantation, as opposed to clear-cut harvesting.

More than 350 families on lots as small as 1 hectare in the mountainous hills grow this delicious coffee in rich loamy, red-clay soils. Hand-picked, freshly harvested cherries are dried in the sun on hills and rooftops, and then have the pulp and fruit removed before sorting and selecting the beans into grades.

Guji coffees offer a complex, yet balanced cup profile that does well in both filter and espresso.
