Filter: Ethiopia Guji Mi'eessaa Robe Natural
This new harvest Ethiopia coffee comes from Osito. We are always on the hunt for good Ethiopian coffee and we like coffees from Guji the best. Last year we had a bad season for Ethiopian coffees, however this year produce is of great quality. The high altitude leads to very good results in the cup. This fruity sweet coffee has some peachy strawberry notes with a tea like finish. Osito has been working with Sookoo's founder, Ture Waji, since their earliest days ofsourcing coffee in Ethiopia. Ture and his brother, Assefa, founded Sookoo (legally, Dambi Uddo Agro Industry) in late 2018/early 2019. In that same harvest, Osito delivered to Dambi Uddo their very first registered purchase contract. Ever considering ways to pursue existing relationships in deeper/more meaningful ways, two years ago Osito asked Ture to start considering farmers that were delivering cherry to his station in large enough volumes that we may be able to keep their cherry separate and, thus, have single farmer lots, dried by the Sookoo team. The goal was to indentify producers that would have historically delivered to Shoondhisa or Bookkisa, the two community lots Osito considers foundational to the work with Sookoo. This year, they were fortunate enough to purchase two such lots from Sookoo, including this lot from Mi'eessa Robe. Mi'eessa farms eight hectares that range in elevation from an incredibly high 2,000 masl to a jaw dropping 2,350 masl. He inherited his farm from his parents and has been a coffee farmer his entire life.
