This coffee is a washed Ethiopia Guji Goro Badesa produced by multiple farmers in the Hambela district within the Guji Zone of Ethiopia. The washing station sits at 2,100 meters above sea level, representing a very high altitude for coffee production. The coffee displays tasting notes of fig and raspberry with a sweet, mellow profile and a body and finish reminiscent of flavored black tea.
