This Ethiopia Guji lot comes from the Single Farmer Project to support Ethiopian producers with a marketplace for farm-traceable coffees. The jammy, berries and sweet notes of this coffee makes it the perfect choice for pour over and cold brew.
Mr Ocholo Bedecho owns 8 hectares of coffee land in Oromia Regional State Guji Zone, Urga district. His farm is located 12 km from small town called Haro Wachu. Most of his income comes from his coffee farm although he also processes some vegetables and Enset (false banana) for daily food from his back yard/garden. He owns 8 hectares of land.
His land size is one of the largest lands in size by the standards of the district he lives. Mr Ocholo is the father of two daughters and 6 sons and the family work on the farm full time. Through coffee, he has managed to send all his children to school although they help in the farm after school when they can.
Guji is a beautifully forested area in southern Ethiopia. Before the early 2000's, this region was considered part of Sidama, but has since become its own region. The people of Guji grow coffee gardens at very high altitudes in the rich red soil of the highlands, setting this coffee's profile apart from neighboring regions. These smallholders deliver their coffee to washing stations to be sorted and processed together, developing flavors of fruits, deep chocolate, and light florals.
Natural coffees are typically delivered the day they are harvested, and are first sorted for ripeness and quality before being rinsed clean of dirt. Then they are spread on raised drying beds or tables, where they will be rotated constantly throughout the course of drying. Drying can take an average of 8–25 days, depending on the weather.
Tasting Notes: Dried citrus zest, cooked coffee cherry, amaretto, and dried lavender flavors. Delicate fruit-like sweetness and winey acidity.
