Bedessa

Guji | Heirloom | 2100 masl | Washed

This coffee hails from the smallholder farmers of Goro Bedessa Woreda in Hambela Wamena, a stunning high-altitude region that rises to 2,100 meters above sea level. This exceptional lot is the product of hundreds of farmers, each tending to a relatively small parcel of trees—often no more than a few hundred. The people here are the Guji Oromo, and coffee farming has been woven into the fabric of life in these highland villages for generations. What makes this coffee stand out is its distinctiveness from both Yirgacheffe and Sidamo. While sharing some of the same bright, lively traits—citrusy zing and delicate floral overtones—Guji coffee brings its own signature character to the cup. Geographically, culturally, and in terms of flavor, this southern Ethiopian coffee expresses a unique personality, offering a vivid, aromatic experience that’s both familiar and refreshingly different.
