Ethiopia, Guji, Oromia

This Grade 1 Ethiopian comes from the Biru Bekele producer from Guji, within the Oromia region of Ethiopia. Farmers carefully hand pick only the ripest cherries, ensuring each bean has the perfect start. At the washing station, the cherries are pulped to remove the fruit, then the beans undergo a fermentation spa to shed the sticky mucilage before being washed and sun-dried on raised beds.

The result is a bright, floral and complex cup that showcases what the region is famous for. Expect delicate notes of peach, honeysuckle and typical Ethiopian florals, balanced with a sweetness that makes this one of the lightest and sweet Ethiopians we’ve tasted for a long time. It stands out in pour-over, AeroPress, or drip and is perfect for anyone looking for a lighter coffee that’s as beautiful to smell as it is to sip.
