100

First of all, thanks to everyone who has been supporting us in recent days. It really means a lot to us.

Today we have another sample pack available for you all, bit more of a premium pack this time but a fantastic exploration of Ethiopian coffee. Try two different processes of coffee, natural and washed from the Guji zone in the Oromia region, Ethiopia.

Sample Pack includes:

  • 200g Ethiopian Guji Hambela Single Origin
  • 200g Ethiopian Guji Uraga Tome Single Origin

All of our beans are locally small batch roasted. We strive to bring you the freshest and highest quality coffee we can get our hands on and have been doing so for the past 35+ years. Feel free to choose if you'd like the coffee whole or ground for a specific application, though we do recommend grinding the beans freshly yourself if you have the means to.

Ethiiopian Guji Hambela

Natural processed Ethiopians are wilder and more gamey in taste. They usually have a sweetness to them and heavier body.

The beans are picked by the farmers and then spread out to dry in the sun. They are then raked around a couple of times a day but this also means that they are not dried evenly and this helps create the funky taste of Ethiopian natural. It's a proud tradition and it certainly packs a punch.

This one is full of flavours and very juicy. Naturals can often look untidy but they're awesome in flavour. In Ethiopia this is the preferred method and has always been the traditional means of processing coffee, due to a lack of water. Many smallholders and families pick their own coffee beans from wild coffee trees and put them out in their yards to dry. Try the Natural Guji it's an awesome find for us to bring to you!

Ethiopian Guji Uraga Tome

If the natural process is the traditional prep of coffee beans in Ethiopia the 'wet process' is the style that is used with most of the coffee produced around the world - and this style is used in Ethiopia too.

We have a marvellous and rare example of a great 'wet processed' or what's called in Ethiopia as 'washed'. Wet processed or washed has more processing as the bean is removed through a water technique in the prepping. This allows for a cleaner and brighter more elegant profile in the cup.

  • Ethiopian Guji - Order placed.

    • Thanks! Hope you enjoy your coffee!

      • It will be great. Hard to get regularly down this way. Normally have to settle for a Yirgacheffe.

  • Patel's and Shah's right now thinking WTF lol

    thanks OP - might give this a try

  • +1

    Are these roasted for espresso or filter? I am looking for something for v60

    • +2

      They're a medium roast and would be perfect for V60. You'll really get those complex, fruity notes out of them using the V60 too. That being said, I've tried them using an espresso machine and found them also to be delicious!

      • Thank you, just placed an order

  • Sounds interesting. I'm in.

    Farm info and practices

    Yabitu Tome is the name of the Kebele (about the equivalent of a neighbourhood) where this coffee comes from. Regionally, it’s in the Guji Zone, but not far from Yirgacheffe.

    This washing station is one of a few operated by Tadesse Edema, who has more than two decades of experience managing coffee processing operations in Guji.

    The Tome station has a good source of water to process coffee from the Mormora River, which also acts as a border between Uraga and Hambela. The coffee that is processed at Tome is actually pulled from both of these areas. Tome produces both washed and dry processed coffees.

    This washed processed lot was sorted to grade 1 standards, which involves quite a bit of hand labor to remove under-ripe coffee, and defective beans. The extra effort is evidenced in the cup as impressive cleanliness.

    That's a report from the last Uraga I sampled, it was a vibrant bean in the cup !

    Hope yours is similar. Not expecting better just a par would be a fine, would be a win. cheers.

  • Hi,

    Which grind do I pick for the aeropress?

    • A filter grind will work excellent in the aeropress!

  • Could you please let me know the roasted date for both products if I were to order whole beans today. Thanks …..

    • We're currently getting more in to be shipped out early next week. Roasting date will be between the 4th-8th of June.

  • Bought 1kg of Ethiopean Guji for $34 from previous deal,received in 2 days via express post.
