Kima Coffee

About This Coffee

This coffee is produced by contracted farmers from Teraga, Oromia, and processed at the Raro Nansebo drying station by Sookoo Coffee, led by Ture Waji, also known as "The King of Guji". The contributing farms are situated at 2200-2350 meters above sea level in the Guji region. The lot is mainly composed of local varieties 74110 and 74112, selected for their productivity and disease resistance. The coffee undergoes a natural process with cherries dried on African beds in full sun following strict protocols with a maximum layer density of 4cm and rotation six times a day. Standard drying time is between 21 and 28 days. The result is a coffee with a silky mouthfeel, vibrant acidity, and fruity, juicy character with flavor notes of berries, stone fruit, honey, and lime.
