Ethiopian Guji - Wholesale Coffee
Ethiopia’s Guji zone is a distant and heavily forested swath of land stretching southeast through the lower corner of the massive Oromia region.

EDN processes coffee both as sundried natural and anaerobically-fermented naturals. Naturals such as this one are received at the processing station in the form of fresh-picked cherry. Cherry is then sorted for defects and uniform ripeness and color, and then placed to ferment in cold water for 24 hours. After fermentation, coffee cherry are immediately moved to raised screen beds to dry in the sun. Drying takes 3-4 weeks depending on the local climate. After the coffee is fully dried it is transported to a local warehouse where it is rigorously assessed for quality and conditioned until it can be transported to Addis Ababa for final milling and export.
