Coffee grown in the Guji zone are uniquely expressive, exhibiting pronounced florals and stone fruit qualities while being balanced by a heavy caramel sweetness. In addition to the stunning flavor qualities of these coffees, the raw green coffee has an impressively long shelf life. We’ve found that Guji’s generally reach their true flavor potential as the following year’s crop is starting to come in fresh. Because of this we are able to offer Ethiopian coffee at peak flavor all year round.
