The Guji region of Sidamo, along the Mora Mora River in southern Ethiopia, produces “forest coffee”, or wild growing coffee trees. The region also has numerous small coffee farms that pool their coffee in a co-op for milling and export. The typical variety of the Guji region is heirloom. It is important to us is that it is not a modern cultivar, but a traditional coffee, strikingly similar to the coffees grown there from the earliest times.

We chose this lot directly at the source after extensive cupping that started back in February.

This is the fourth year we have been buying Nensebo, and we are astonished every time we taste it!

This lot was processed at the Ch'Ire Ameli washing station in the Nensebo woreda, Guji terroir. More than 700 small holder farmers bring their cherries to Ch'Ire Ameli, where an impressive selection is then made and the an outstanding natural process is applied, using the traditional raised beds
