Guji Green Coffee Process
Guji is a small zone in the south of Ethiopia, located in the Oromia region and named after the Guji tribe of the Oromo people, one of the largest ethnic groups in the country.
Coffee is the driving force behind Ethiopia’s economy, and the landscape in Guji is no different. Smallholders with around 1–2 hectares of land grow coffee intercropped with food-producing agriculture meant for household consumption. Most farmers rely on traditional farming methods that are free from chemical and artificial inputs.
Guji’s microclimate is characterized by high elevations, abundant rainfall, cool temperatures, and rich volcanic soils. The region experiences distinct wet and dry seasons, with ample moisture supporting lush vegetation and healthy coffee trees. Cool, misty mornings and sunny afternoons help coffee cherries mature slowly, enhancing their sweetness and complexity. Dense forests and varied terrain further contribute to the diversity of microclimates within Guji, resulting in coffees with unique and expressive flavor profiles.
