a natural-process ethiopian, so this one is all fruit: blackberry and tangerine, with a lively, juicy finish.

it comes from the shakiso washing station in guji, a remote and heavily forested corner of southern ethiopia. about 137 farmers bring their cherry to shakiso, each farming around 2 hectares. the cherries dry whole on raised beds, which is where all that fruit comes from.

if you've only had washed ethiopians, this is a very different cup. try them side by side.

Guji is a distant, heavily forested stretch of land running southeast through the lower corner of Ethiopia's Oromia region. Much of its primary forest survives thanks to the Guji people, part of Ethiopia's Oromo nation, who have long organized to keep mining and logging out and conserve the canopy. The same remoteness makes it hard for farmers to bring coffee to market.

Approximately 137 farmers delivered cherry to the Shakiso washing station in the 2022-23 season, averaging about 2 hectares each. Grown at around 1800 meters, varieties 74110 and 74112.

Natural process: whole cherries are dried on raised beds before hulling.

how to brew it

here's how we brew it: 2 tablespoons (about 10g) of coffee per 6oz cup of water, a medium grind, water just off the boil.

using a drip machine? just keep the same ratio and use fresh cold water.
