$17.00

Notes: Blueberry • Peach • Honey

Light Roast | Natural Process | 1,900–2,200m

Grown in the highlands of Ethiopia’s Guji region, this coffee comes from smallholder farmers surrounding the Danbi Udo drying station, where ripe cherries are carefully handpicked and naturally processed on raised African beds. The region’s high elevations, rich soil, and cool mountain climate help produce coffees known for vibrant fruit, floral aromatics, and layered sweetness.

We roasted this coffee light to highlight its clean, fruit-forward character while maintaining balance and sweetness in the cup. Expect juicy notes of strawberry and peach up front, followed by a smooth honeyed sweetness and a bright, refreshing finish. It’s a vibrant yet approachable coffee that shines as a clean everyday filter brew.

The Farm

In the highlands of Ethiopia’s Guji region, coffee is more than a crop, it’s part of everyday life. Smallholder farmers care for tiny plots of land passed down through generations, handpicking ripe cherries beneath native shade trees in the cool mountain air. Farming here is slow, intentional work shaped by tradition, patience, and a deep connection to the land.

This coffee comes from farmers surrounding the Danbi Udo drying station, where freshly harvested cherries are carefully sorted and dried on raised African beds under the sun. At elevations reaching over 2,000 meters, the cherries develop slowly, building the bright fruit, sweetness, and floral character that make Guji coffees so special.

Behind every bag is the work of families and communities whose dedication can be tasted in the cup. From the early mornings spent harvesting by hand to the careful drying and processing of each lot, this coffee carries the story of the region and the people who bring it to life.

Ethiopia

Ethiopia is widely considered the birthplace of coffee, with centuries of history deeply tied to the land, its people, and daily life. Legend tells the story of a goat herder named Kaldi discovering coffee after noticing his goats became unusually energetic after eating wild coffee cherries growing in the forests. While the story has evolved over time, coffee’s roots in Ethiopia are undeniable.

Today, coffee remains one of the most important parts of Ethiopian culture and identity. Across the country, coffee is more than just a drink, it’s a ritual centered around hospitality, community, and connection. Traditional Ethiopian coffee ceremonies bring family, friends, and neighbors together to slow down, share conversation, and spend time with one another. The process of roasting, grinding, and brewing coffee by hand is treated with care and intention, often taking over an hour from start to finish.

For many farming communities, coffee is also a way of life passed down through generations. Smallholder farmers continue to grow coffee on family land using traditional methods, helping preserve the incredible diversity and character Ethiopian coffees are known for around the world. Every cup carries a small piece of that history, culture, and connection to the birthplace of coffee itself.
