About Guji
Grown at elevations between 1,200 and 2,250 metres above sea level, this coffee thrives in Ethiopia’s nutrient-rich highland soil and ideal climate. The Guji region, located in the southern part of the country, is known for producing coffees with exceptional brightness, floral aromatics, and layered sweetness.
Expert Sourcing & Washed Processing
This coffee is sourced from Ken Bon Estate and processed using the traditional washed method:
-
Pulping & Fermentation: The outer fruit is removed, and the beans are fermented to break down mucilage.
-
Washing & Drying: After fermentation, the beans are washed clean and dried on raised beds, allowing for even airflow and careful drying.
-
Ethical Sourcing: Our partnership with Ken Bon and JA Coffee ensures a transparent, sustainable supply chain with a strong emphasis on community and quality.
The washed process enhances the coffee’s inherent brightness, creating a cup with lifted citrus and floral notes alongside a clean, sweet finish.
