This lot is a magnaminous representation of what so many love about Guji coffees. The cup exhudes a sweet-floral fragrance with a fresh berry-jam profile. Sookoo Tima transforms from hot to cool, going from rounded and juicy, to delicate & citric. The cleanliness and clarity is clearly anunciated in this brew. The complexity and acidity are elegant. This coffee has a lot of bright berries, stone-fruits & a gorgeous bouquet that is silky. Simply a beautiful coffee.

Ture Waji has coordinated a harvest of great disctinction and clarity this year. This lot is a group effort from the kebeles of Tima. Kebeles are kind of like sub divisions in an area, and in this case, Tima is full of excellent farmers. Most of the cherries are Gibrinna 74110 and Serto 74112. Both of these varieties come from the forests of Illubabor in Ethiopia. They have proven to be resilient against coffee berry disease with a high cup quality. 

The cherries are all dried at a centralized location on raised beds at an elevation of 2,173 meters for around 15-20 days in very thin layers. They are moved and rotated frequently to ensure even and precise drying. The net results of all the effort are some of the most vibrant and pristinely clean coffees out of Ethiopia. 

Roasted on Mondays.

Our coffees are best after two weeks+ of the roast date.
