This lot impresses us with its clear and balanced expression of Guji’s terroir. In the cup, we find notes of apricot and citrus, a gentle structure reminiscent of black tea, and a subtle floral finish. A clean, precise, and bright coffee that showcases Ture’s expertise and the uniqueness of this region of Ethiopia.

In the highlands of Guji, at an altitude of 2,000 to 2,150 meters, the Tima lot is processed at the Weessi washing station, operated by Sookoo Coffee and its founder, Ture Waji. Located in Hangadhi, in the Shakisso district, the station processes fully ripe cherries using the washed method. After pulping with a Penagos machine, the beans are fermented in water for twelve hours, then slowly dried on African beds.

We have been working with Ture Waji for seven years now, primarily through the Bookkisa lot. Last year was the first time we added the Tima lot to our menu, and we're happy to bring it back for a second year. Ture continues to refine his approach, and his washed coffees show the great care he puts into every step, from selecting the cherries to the final drying.
