Guji Uraga

The Birthplace of Our Coffee Heritage

Our journey begins in Guji Uraga, one of Ethiopia's most celebrated coffee-growing regions. Nestled at high altitudes, Uraga is blessed with fertile red soil, cool mountain air, and generations of farming knowledge.

Here, coffee is more than a crop—it is a way of life. Smallholder farmers carefully cultivate indigenous Ethiopian Arabica varieties, harvesting cherries by hand at peak ripeness. Through traditional natural and washed processing, Guji Uraga coffees develop their signature profiles.

Harar

The Cradle of Ethiopian Coffee Heritage

From the historic city of Harar, one of Ethiopia's oldest coffee regions, these coffees are grown in a distinctive semi-arid environment that shapes their bold and unforgettable character. Cultivated at high elevations, Harar coffees develop slowly, concentrating flavor and aroma.

  • Dry, semi-arid highland climate
  • Indigenous heirloom coffee varieties
  • Traditional sun-drying practices
