Guji grows higher than most Ethiopian coffee. Cool nights slow the cherry's ripening, and that time turns into sweetness and complex acidity. Washed lots are bright and floral. Naturals are fuller, with jammy berry and a long finish.
Smallholder farms sit among forest and enset plants, much of the coffee under natural shade.
Flavour profile
- Washed: Complex florals, mandarin and peach on a silky body.
- Natural: Mango, ripe berry and jam on a fuller body, with a long finish.
Export
From Guji to your roastery.
Every export lot goes through five stages: regional storage, overland transit, export milling, ECTA inspection, then stuffing and shipping to Djibouti. The standard lead time is 10–14 days from warehouse dispatch to loading.
