Whole fruit dried Ethiopian coffee is pure magic and we are happy to have one back for Mr. Pink

Last year, we discovered the remarkable work of Ture Waji and his company, Sookoo Coffee. They produce exceptional coffees in Ethiopia’s Guji region. More specifically, according to Ethiopian geographical classification, this version of "Mr. Pink" comes from Bookkisa (sub-kebele), Sawana (kebele), Shakiso (woreda), and Guji (zone).

This coffee was carefully produced and harvested by 30 farmers from whom Ture Waji sources the cherries. Once harvested, the ripe cherries are sorted and then expertly, slowly dried over a period of about three weeks. Beyond this slow, meticulous process, the coffee is dried to an ideal moisture content of between 9.5% and 10%.

This relatively low level is crucial to ensure the coffee reaches us in France with the same aromatic qualities as the pre-shipment sample approved at the time of purchase. It also reflects a producer committed to quality: the longer coffee dries, the more the producer's potential revenue decreases. We are happy to pay a premium for coffees with lower moisture content. Our current version of "Mr. Pink" embodies the ultimate Arabica experience. Forest-grown without any chemical inputs, it reveals the delicate fruity and floral notes characteristic of this species.

I hope you enjoy it!

Information provided by Osito:

We have worked with Ture Waji since the early days of Sookoo—and even before that. David, who leads most of our sourcing in Ethiopia, was buying coffee from Ture several years before Sookoo was founded. At the time, Ture managed farms and oversaw production in Guji, southern Ethiopia—a region he knows as well as anyone (and better than most). It is no surprise that he earned the nickname "King of Guji."

This lot was created using cherries from around thirty smallholders to produce the highly acclaimed Bookkisa coffee. Unlike in Latin America, where farmers may own vast estates with thousands of coffee trees, Ethiopian producers typically manage small plots, often harvesting coffee from their gardens alongside food crops. The average size of an Ethiopian farm is 2.5 hectares, which is larger than the Colombian average. However, planting density in Ethiopia is much lower, as most production takes place within forest or semi-forest systems. This results in fewer trees per hectare and lower yields per tree (with the national average standing at a surprisingly low 0.8 kg of cherries per tree per year). All delivered cherries are organically grown.
