(New) Ethiopian Guji

Ethiopian Guji is a recent addition to the coffees being exported from Ethiopia. Historically it has been exported as a Sidamo type, but after many years of lobbying, the Ethiopian government has granted Guji its own geographical distinction. While the cup profile is quite similar to Sidamo coffees, some people feel that there is a “little something special” in the coffee from Guji.

This offering is from a Single Farmer Project as a result of an effort to support Ethiopian producers with a marketplace and farm-traceable coffees. The small coffee plantation is from Mr. Girum Girma in the Oromia State. He has a 12-hectare farm for coffee and a few vegetables. His coffee plantation is one of the largest in the district by land size. He is the father of 9 children, and his entire family works full time on the farm. While he ensures that most of his children attend school, they assist on the farm after school, which typically consists of a half-day session.

We think this is a nice mellow cup of coffee for any time of the day, Have a try and support the single farmer project for traceable coffee beans from Mr. Girma
