Guji is found in the south of Ethiopia, bordering renowned coffee regions of Sidama and Yirgacheffe (in Gedeo). It was protected from most tourism and development until it was distinguished as its own political zone in 2002, and for good reason: Guji is carpeted in lush, green forests with mineral-rich soils and many localized landrace varieties of indigenous coffee.

For the past twenty years, the founders of Sibu Coffee have been building and establishing new washing stations in the region for local farming families—Guracho Washing Station included. Sibu Coffee Exporter began operations in 2014 to improve access to the export market for these washing stations and the farmers who use them. With more direct access to global trade, producers fetch higher prices in the specialty market than they would in the volume-focused commodity market.

In addition to facilitating this local commercial development, Sibu also works to reinvest in community growth. They invested in renovating a local school in 2019, donating two shipping containers of school supplies, and building a fresh water supply for the local area. 

Embodying that long-term commitment to quality and resource infrastructure, this coffee is a simple washed process Typica showcasing its own rich terroir and that delicious, classic, and clean profile of fruit and floral tea.
