Guji: Shakiso, Ethiopia - Washed Process
At the beginning of the Summer we got a natural processed Guji Shakiso coffee on the shelves that has been a big hit. Recently, we got a hold of the same coffee, from the exact same farm, with the only traceable difference being process. This Guji Shakiso is a washed coffee—our team’s favorite process—and has many similarities to the natural Shakiso, but the difference in processes makes for a unique contrast of the two crops. This Guji is praised for its light chamomile flavor with deep lemon curd and clover honey sweetness. If you tried our other Guji, make sure to try this one to compare and contrast the processes.
Guji: Shakiso, Ethiopia - Natural Process
This is our second offering from our of our favorite subregions of Ethiopia: the Guji zone. This coffee is special to us because it is our very first naturally processed coffee that we’ve had as an offering. We taste honey and concord grape-like sweetness with a subtle blueberry aroma. This coffee is everything we love about deeper, rich Ethiopian coffees. This coffee was also chosen with help from our customers at our first public cupping.
