Ethiopia - Guji

10oz bag of Ethiopia Guji

Notes: Blueberry, pomegranet molasses, honeydew

Elevation: ~2100m

The lot was processed at a privately owned coffee mill called Gerba Dogo, not far from Gerba town, Guji Zone. "Tuku" is the mill owner's name, who is working with a local exporter as a vertically integrated wet mill. In this case, the exporter provides Tuku financing to buy cherries during the harvest season, and a link to the market. The processing site sits at 2125 meters above sea level, and some of the farms they buy from are even higher elevation. The dry process method is the oldest way of processing whole coffee cherries down to the green seeds we roast, and is a big part of why coffees like Tuku taste so fruity. It takes a lot longer to dry whole coffee cherries down to the standard of 10-11% moisture, and during that time a fermentation occurs within.
