Guji Uraga
Cafe-PihaAbout This Coffee
A washed Arabica coffee from the Guji region of Ethiopia, produced at Uraga at an altitude of 1950 meters. The variety is Heirloom — wild and endemic Ethiopian cultivars that grow naturally under forest cover, prized for their complex floral profiles. Cherries are hand-sorted, depulped, and wet-fermented to remove mucilage, then washed with fresh water and dried to approximately 11.5% moisture before being dry-milled in Addis-Abeba prior to export. Roasted in Bordeaux, France.

Cafe-Piha
Piha runs a proper in house roastery tucked behind its main cafe and aims to roast daily so beans leave as fresh as possible. Founder and head roaster Pierre Guérin selects seasonal lots from Colombia, Brazil, Ethiopia, Kenya and Indonesia and focuses on letting each origin express itself in either espresso or filter. The roastery won recognition at the Global Coffee Awards and has worked closely with producers such as the Frinsa Estate in West Java on natural process lots. They ship retail bags, run educational workshops and treat coffee selection with the same curiosity you might give a good bottle of wine.
