Ethiopia Guracho Typica

We taste: Peach, honey, jasmine — medium acidity, floral finish.

Guji is found in the south of Ethiopia, bordering the renowned coffee regions of Sidama and Yirgacheffe. 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 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, helping producers fetch higher specialty-market prices.

Sibu also reinvests in community growth: they renovated a local school in 2019, donated two shipping containers of school supplies, and built a fresh water supply for the local area.

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