A natural coffee from the Guji region whose aroma evokes freeze-dried roses, candied blueberries, and raspberries. On the palate, it is very sweet, with notes of white sugar, milk chocolate, and figs. It has a silky body paired with a juicy acidity reminiscent of wild berries. Its aftertaste is long, pleasant, and very sweet.
The Washed station is located in the heart of the Guji region in Oromia, approximately 300 to 400 km south of Addis Ababa. This project is a collaboration among 500 local smallholder farmers who grow coffee on land that has been cultivated by the Oromo people for generations. Each farmer contributes their carefully selected coffee cherries to this collective effort, allowing the region’s local varieties and unique microclimates to shine in every cup.
The Guji region was established as an independent producing zone in 2002, separating from Yirgacheffe. Although it is relatively young as a distinct region, its coffees have gained worldwide recognition for being distinct from both Yirgacheffe and Sidamo, thanks to its unique terroir characteristics and local biodiversity. The exporter, Testi Specialty Coffee, has selected and graded this lot as Grade 1 to ensure exceptional, consistent quality.
Beyond processing high-quality coffee, Testi Specialty Coffee is committed to the comprehensive development of the community. In various regions of Ethiopia, including Guji, they have invested in building schools for local children, promoted water projects to ensure access to clean drinking water, and worked to connect homes to the electrical grid, significantly improving the quality of life for producers and their families.
