The Shakisso Region

Shakisso, located in Guji, southern Oromia region, borders Sidama and Gedeo. This area has many mine pits, which were originally used for gold mining, so there are many pits in this coffee growing area. This makes walking between coffee growing areas full of danger. Shakisso is a unique producing area in Guji/Sidamo, and even within Sidamo, it's a remote area far from most coffee-producing locations. Another famous local product is gold mines. Factors such as miners, land, and ethnicity also made the region turbulent 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 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.

Sipping

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