Ethiopia Guji

Ethiopia is a landlocked nation in the horn of Africa. It is bounded by Eritrea to the North, Sudan in the west, Kenya to the South, and Somalia to the East. Djibouti is small nation on Ethiopia’s northeastern border, which is how the majority of the coffee reaches the sea. This represents a logistical challenge when transporting coffee overland across the country which is largely done by trucks, but rail is becoming increasingly viable.

It is also one of the only places in the world where coffee grows wild. Approximately 85% of Ethiopia’s coffee is produced by small farmers on less than 1 hectare of land. They use traditional practices for fertilization and pest control that are organic in nature but generally lack the Organic certification because of barriers related to cost and infrastructure.

Guji is one of the zones of the Oromia Region of Southern Ethiopia known for producing some amazing natural coffees. This coffee tends to showcase some nice fruit-forward characteristics with a medium body.

In this coffee we taste notes of Dark Chocolate, Dried Fruit, Jam.
