Coffee Description
This is the full natural raised bed dried coffee from Gigesa Guji. Deep chocolate,
Gigesa is a small town in the Danbi Uddo Kebele, not far from Shakiso in Ethiopia’s renowned Guji Zone. This area is home to over 500 smallholder coffee farmers, each cultivating 2 to 5 hectares of land at altitudes exceeding 1,800 meters above sea level. The Gigesa washing station, named after the town it serves, plays a vital role in collecting and processing the cherries from these farms. Owned and operated by the Yonis family, the washing station is a cornerstone of sustainable and high-quality coffee production, proudly holding both NOP and EU Organic certifications.
After sorting and cleaning the coffee cherries are placed on African raised beds and turned and monitored continuously for 15-21 days to let the coffee fruit dry and imbue the coffee with the richness and sweetness of the coffee fruit itself.
