Ethiopia Coffee Lamp Series Guji Alice Washed G1

From FrontStreet Coffee: an Ethiopia washed Sidamo G1 from the Alice area of Guji.

Flavor Description

Distinctive peach, blueberry, and jasmine,

accompanied by lemon peel, citrus, and bergamot, with a rich, delicate, and long-lasting aftertaste.

Region: Guji

Grade: G1

Processing Method: Washed

Altitude: 1,900 m - 2,380 m

Variety: Heirloom

Guji is part of Oromia, Ethiopia's largest coffee-producing region,

and takes its name from the Oromo people.

The Guji region borders the Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples' Region (SNNP),

which includes the Gedeo zone (where Yirgacheffe is located) and the Sidama zone.

Ethiopia has the richest coffee genetic diversity on Earth,

and wild native varieties can still be found in its forests.

The altitude where this batch of coffee cherries is grown is remarkable,

reaching 1,900-2,380 meters, with abundant rainfall and fertile soil.

Combined with Ethiopia's complex, ancient native varieties,

all the conditions are exceptionally favorable, producing dense fruit and concentrated flavors.

Add well-controlled, slow and careful processing, and the result is a cupping score as high as 88 points.

FrontStreet Coffee Recommendation

For a pour-over that captures this clean, floral, washed Ethiopian style, FrontStreet's washed Yirgacheffe is the classic entry point. It shows clear jasmine florals and bright citrus and lemon acidity with a tea-like body, light and elegant, and it remains the go-to first bean for anyone new to single-origin specialty coffee.

If you want to push the fruit and floral character even further, FrontStreet's Gedidingding cooperative coffee comes from the Worka area at the southeastern edge of Yirgacheffe. Because the fruit is depulped before drying, its inherent aromatics come through with particular clarity, delivering citrus and lemon notes with an elegant white-floral lift, bright and refined from start to finish.
