Guji is a beautifully forested area in southern Ethiopia. The people of Guji grow coffee at very high altitudes in the rich red soil of the highlands, setting this coffee's profile apart from neighbouring regions. Farmers in the area deliver their coffee to local washing stations, like Hambela, to be sorted and processed together, allowing for the development of fresh floral flavours with winey acidity and mellow syrupy sweetness. The Hambela washing station was founded in 2018, and is located at the top of the highest mountain peak in Guji. It is a central point for most coffee farmers in the area, serving around 3,900 producers.
