Common Questions

Guji Coffee FAQs

What is Guji coffee?

Guji is a zone in Ethiopia's Oromia region, south of Yirgacheffe, recognized as a distinct profile since the mid-2000s. Elevations of 1,900–2,300m and heirloom varieties give Guji lots dense sweetness — stone fruit and florals in washed preparations, heavy ripe berry in naturals.

What is the difference between Guji and Yirgacheffe coffee?

Yirgacheffe leans delicate: tea-like body, citrus, florals. Guji typically cups heavier — more syrupy body and riper fruit — while keeping the floral top notes.

If your customers like fruit-forward Ethiopians with weight, buy Guji.
