FrontStreet Coffee - Ethiopia Sidamo Guji G1 Natural Introduction

Background Information

Sidamo Guji is located in southern Ethiopia and is one of the few renowned specialty coffee producing regions in the country. This coffee bean relies entirely on natural organic matter from nature to maintain its cycle, using fallen leaves and withered flowers and plants as fertilizer. Its purely natural cultivation method has won it many awards, including East Africa's "Taste of the Harvest," through which it became widely known.

Local farmers harvest ripe red berries and then send them to the Guji processing plant for processing. The processing plant is located in Sidamo Guji and operated by Girma Endema. The ripe berries are first sent to the processing plant for sorting. In this step, skilled workers remove unripe berries. The sorting process greatly affects the final roasting and cupping of this batch of beans. Qualified berries are placed on flower beds for natural drying for 15-21 days, during which they need to be turned every two hours to prevent damage.

What makes this coffee bean special is that only fully ripe berries are used, and they must be sorted and placed on flower beds for natural drying on the same day.

This demonstrates the extraordinary nature of green beans from this producing region. The area has towering mountains, highlands, plateaus, valleys, and plains, with diverse topography. The local geology consists of nutrient-rich, well-drained volcanic soil, with a depth of nearly two meters. The surface soil appears dark brown or brown. The area's greatest advantage is that soil fertility is maintained through the circulation of organic matter, using withered leaves from surrounding trees or residual plant roots as fertilizer.
