Guji is a premier coffee-growing zone in the Oromia Region of southern Ethiopia. The region is home to the Oromo people, whose distinct language and traditions contribute to the incredible diversity found within each woreda (district).
To meet the global demand for high-quality specialty coffee, new washing stations are being established throughout the zone. These facilities focus on precision processing to fully capture the complex flavor attributes unique to Ethiopian heirloom varieties. The region is nourished by the Ganale Dorya River and shares borders with the famous Yirgacheffe growing area to the west.
