Shakisso: The Unique Coffee Region

Shakisso, located in Guji, Oromia region in the south, is adjacent to Sidama and Gedeo. This area has many mining pits that were originally used for gold mining, so the coffee growing area has many holes. This makes walking through the coffee growing areas full of danger. Shakisso is a unique production area in Guji/Sidamo. Even within Sidamo, it is a remote region far from most coffee origins. Another famous local product is gold mines. Factors such as miners, land, and ethnicity also made the region unstable in 2006. Therefore, the biggest problem this region faces now is the need for manpower to maintain the growing areas and harvest coffee. Local small farmers in this area began growing organic coffee in 2001 and work closely with medium-sized coffee producers because they are familiar with how to grow forest coffee in highland areas.

Tasting Notes

[Dry Aroma] Sweet cherry, raisins, preserved fruits, preserved plums, dried pineapple, strawberry

[Wet Aroma] Cherry, cranberry, sweet orange, plum, blueberry, honey peach, lychee

[Slurping] The entry is like sweet and juicy honey peach, with sweet pineapple acidity. The middle notes of cranberry, blueberry, strawberry, pineapple, and dried fruit dense aromas fill the mouth. The aftertaste brings lychee and plum flavors, with dried fruit-like viscosity. The entire coffee is like a tropical fruit storm assault—elegant yet dominant, falling into an ocean of nectar as its name suggests.
