This washed Guji is a bright, sweet and complex cup from the high altitudes of Uraga district. At stunning heights of 2240 meters above sea-level, you'll find the Uraga Bisrat washing station that processes one of Uraga’s finest coffees. Bisrat Melaku is the proud founder of the station that processes cherries not only from his own farm, but also supports the livelihood of about 60 local producers farming near Mount Quto and the Seboba River. The abundance of classic notes like stone fruits, kiwi, florals and cola gives the coffee excellent attributes to be enjoyed through any brew method. We give Guji Chebega five stars for its all-round taste performance as a filter, or a flat white.
