Juicy and clean with balanced tangerine acidity and delicate floral notes, this Fully washed lot from Guji Hadeso washing station (managed by in-country partner, Testi Specialty Coffee) is unique thanks to the range of local varieties and microclimates.

The Guji region lies approximately 300 to 400 km south of Addis Ababa in the Guji Zone of the Oromia Region. The Guji region has a long genealogy. In 2002, Guji detached from Yirgacheffe, which had previously been folded in with the Sidamo name. The Guji region, which was established in 2002, takes its name from the Oromo people, a tribe who have farmed coffee on the land for generations.

Coffee from Guji was once lumped in with coffees from all over the Yirgacheffe region. Before Yirgacheffe was its own region, those coffees were blended with coffee from a wide geographical area that encompassed much of central-south Ethiopia under the grade “Sidamo”. Despite its long journey, Guji coffees are widely recognized as distinct from both Yirgacheffe and Sidamo coffee thanks to the unique local varieties and microclimates.

This coffee represents the dedication of 500 smallholder farmers in the Guji region. Juicy and clean, it features balanced tangerine-like acidity and delicate floral notes. As a distinctive offering from the Guji Hadeso washing station, the coffee is carefully sorted and graded to achieve the highest quality (Gr.1).

In addition to processing high-quality coffees, Testi Specialty Coffee also contributes to community wellbeing. In Sidamo, they have helped build schools for local children, supported a water project to make clean water accessible and have helped connect homes to the electricity grid.
