Origin
Guji, Yirgacheffe, Ethiopia
Guji, Ethiopia, is renowned for its high-quality specialty coffee, distinguished by unique environmental conditions and diverse processing methods. Located in the Oromia region, Guji’s coffee grows at altitudes between 1,800 and 2,300 meters, where slow cherry maturation leads to complex, concentrated flavours. The region’s cool climate, fertile volcanic soil, and distinct wet and dry seasons further enhance coffee quality.
The coffee is primarily grown from Ethiopian Heirloom varieties, known for their genetic diversity and rich flavour profiles, with notes of stone fruits, berries, and tea-like qualities. Farmers use both Washed and Natural methods, with recent experimentation in Carbonic Maceration and Anaerobic Fermentation adding complexity.
Most Guji coffee comes from smallholder farmers, who intercrop coffee with crops like enset, ensuring food security. Sustainability is a focus, with initiatives to improve processing and community infrastructure, such as schools and water wells. Guji has quickly become one of Ethiopia's top specialty coffee regions, known for its distinct, high-quality offerings on the global market.
