Guji is a relatively new Ethiopian geographic appelation located in the most southern part of Sidamo. It covers a large area and so includes a vast range of altitudes.

This coffee is produced by Shonora Coffee Trading, with the washing station located close to the town of Gerba. It is made up up of coffee fruit grown by 150 individual farmers around the washing station, with a part of the fruit coming from a farm owned by Shonora Coffee.

We sourced this coffee after selecting it from a bunch of offer samples through Belco, who are doing excellent work in Ethiopia. It stood out as a shinning example of why coffee from Guji is fast gaining a reputation for great flavor profiles. Whilst the natural process coffees are berry focused, these washed coffees have an impressive citrus fruit character. In the cup expect sweet citrus flavours, a touch of spice and a touch of peach. It's fruity and dense. We like it as espresso
