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 there are numerous pits in this coffee-growing area. This makes walking between coffee cultivation areas quite dangerous. Shakisso is a unique production area within Guji/Sidamo, even within Sidamo it is a remote region far from most coffee-producing areas, while another famous local product is gold mines. Factors such as miners, land, and ethnicity also made this region turbulent in 2006. Therefore, the biggest problem this region faces now is the need for manpower to maintain the cultivation areas and harvest coffee. Local small farmers in this area began planting 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.

Sweet cherry, raisins, preserved fruits, preserved plums, dried pineapple, strawberries.

Wet Aroma

Cherry, cranberry, sweet orange, plum, blueberry, honey peach, lychee.

Tasting Notes

The entry is like sweet and juicy honey peach, with sweet pineapple acidity. The middle stage reveals dense aromas of cranberry, blueberry, strawberry, pineapple, and dried fruits that fill the mouth. The finish brings lychee and plum flavors, with fruit-dried viscosity. The entire bean is like a tropical fruit storm attacking—elegant yet dominant, falling into an ocean of nectar as its name suggests.
