Guji is a unique coffee region that sets itself apart from neighboring areas like
Yirgacheffe and Sidama with distinct coffee varieties native to the landscape and
a balanced, complex flavor profile that comes with them. It’s a rural location,
but despite its accessibility challenges, woredas (districts) in Guji like Shakiso
have still made names for themselves in the global market with a reputation for
fantastic coffees. The Sawana Washing Station, at 1800-2200 MASL, is a prominent
hub for processing Shakiso green coffee. The coffee cherries for this lot were
sourced from smallholders in the community.
