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. 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.

FUN FACT: Ethiopian coffee goes way back—so far, it predates written history! Arabica coffee plants are native to Ethiopia, and coffee consumption has played a symbolic role in local culture for centuries before coffee was adopted as the global go-to beverage.
