Yirgacheffe and Guji coffees used to be bundled under the Sidamo name. However, each coffee produced distinctly different flavour profiles because of the varied climates in the region of Oromia. And only since 2002, have they have been recognized different coffee producing zones.

Guji is named after a tribe of the Oromo people. They are believed to be descendants of settlers who first arrived in this area to rear their cattle. Current generations of the Oromo people focus mostly on farming as the soil here is very fertile, and as a result, much of the coffees here (and most of Ethiopia) are organic by default. The result is a bright and dynamic cup balanced with jammy fruit sweetness.
