ETHIOPIA GUJI HAMBELLA

Guji Hambella is our best-selling expresssive single origin built for those who prefer fruit-forward coffees over chocolate-heavy ones. Although coffees like this are often associated with black filter brewing, we carefully developed the medium roast profile to balance acidity, sweetness and body so it also performs beautifully as espresso and with milk. 
Expect delicate jasmine hints on the nose. followed by sweet peach, bright acidity, and a smooth caramel aftertaste. It’s bright and expressive without becoming sharp or difficult to drink and that's why our customers love it!

RADICAL TRANSPARENCY

KNOW YOUR LOT

Every number — and every note — behind this coffee, published. Tap a metric to see what it means and why it matters.

Origins

Where this coffee comes from

Known as the birthplace of coffee, Ethiopia has one of the world’s richest and most diverse coffee-growing traditions. Its coffees are celebrated globally for their distinctive and complex flavour profiles.

Region

Where within the origin it was grown

Guji is one of Ethiopia’s most renowned specialty coffee regions, celebrated for coffees with vibrant fruit, floral aromatics, and layered complexity. The region has developed a distinct identity for exceptionally expressive and elegant cup profiles.

Producer

Who grew or produced this coffee

This coffee is produced by multiple smallholder farmers, with each contributing small lots that come together to form the final coffee. This model reflects the collaborative nature of many coffee-growing communities.

Variety

The coffee variety grown / What this blend is made from

A mix of varieties developed by Ethiopia’s JARC research program and traditional landrace varieties that have evolved naturally over generations, reflecting the remarkable genetic diversity of Ethiopian coffee.

Altitude

How high this coffee was grown

Grown at 1,850 metres above sea level, the cooler conditions at this elevation slow coffee cherry development, allowing more time for complexity and character to develop in the cup.

Process

How the coffee was processed after harvest

In natural processing, coffee cherries are dried whole with the fruit still surrounding the seed. This extended contact with the fruit often produces sweeter, fruit-forward flavours and a fuller, more expressive cup.

Roast Level

How far we developed the roast

A medium roast aims to balance the coffee’s natural character with sweetness and body developed during roasting. It creates a rounded, approachable cup while still allowing the coffee’s inherent qualities to come through.

Preferred Extraction

How we think this coffee shines best

This coffee is roasted to perform well across both espresso and filter brewing, offering enough structure and intensity for espresso while retaining the clarity and character needed for filter.

A CLASSIC EXPRESSION OF HAMBELLA
Behind the Coffee

A CLASSIC EXPRESSION OF HAMBELLA

Coffee is grown in various zones in Ethiopia. Yirgacheffe and Sidama were the ones that came to mind. Guji was once the underdog, but has steadily made a name for itself on the international stage and is now recognised alongside them. In the past, coffees from the Guji zone were always lumped and blended with the other regions. Though now they have done so well, it became recognized as distinct. The region's high elevation and cooler temperatures cause slower cherry developmentwhich can contribute to more complex cup profiles. Slow and steady wins the race!

Howeover, our selection was specifically from the Hambella district within Guji and the smallholder farmers from that district don't play around when it comes coffee. They have been producing exceptional washed and natural coffee season after season. In our first sourcing trip to Ethiopia, this area was recommended to us by many. We needed a solid natural processed coffee that would compete with high standards of the UAE specialty coffee market. After visiting the farms and seeing the level of care and effort put into the processing of the coffee, we were impressed. But, on the cupping table, we were sold. The coffee was so complex and sweet. It had vibrant acidity, fruity sweetness and was full of character.

We did not hesitate and quickly secured our first shipment and our coffee stood out in the market. We have maintained our relationship with the farmers and will continue to do so. We share the common goal of showcasing the true nature of Ethiopian traditions and quality.
