Ethiopia Guji Udeyi Natural

This fresh coffee comes from the legendary Guji region, a small area that used to be part of Sidamo but now is classified separately. There are few entrances to Guji--a distant and heavily forested region--and none of the routes are short or for the queasy.

This lot was grown by the Udeyi Farmer's Co-op, and the dry processed (natural) (sun-dried) beans has brought out extra sweetness with strong notes of lemondrop candy, hints of berries, tangerine, a silky mouthfeel, and slight chocolate and almond as it cools. As with any good Ethiopia, the fruity taste is unmistakable. A fantastic hot coffee, but just as nice when iced.
