The story:
Guji is a beautifully forested area in southern Ethiopia. Before the early 2000's, this region was considered part of Sidama, but has since become its own region. The people of Guji grow coffee gardens at very high altitudes in the rich red soil of the highlands, setting this coffee's profile apart from neighbouring regions. These smallholders deliver their coffee to washing stations to be sorted and processed together, developing flavours of fruits, deep chocolate and light florals.
The Sodu washing station is located 2.5km from the town of Hara Adama, in Guji's Oromia district of Ethiopia.
Coffees from this station are delivered by local farmers daily, purchased in cherry, and processed accordingly. Typically, washed coffees are de-pulped on the same day, fermented overnight before being washed clean and dried on raised beds. It takes 8-15 days to fully dry washed coffees under the sun.
