This washed heirloom lot from Gogogu showcases cacao, berries, Peach and Jasmine atop a clean, syrupy sweetness. Grown at 2,340 meters in Ethiopia’s Uraga district, it reflects the high-altitude clarity and precision that define exceptional Guji coffees.
Gogogu is a remote community located in the Dida Haro Hada Raro kebele of Uraga in Ethiopia’s Oromia region. The area’s name, derived from the Oromiffa word for “dry”, references both the local mountain and the community’s rugged environment. Reaching Gogogu requires multiple flights and hours of travel on winding dirt roads, underscoring its isolation. Yet this remoteness contributes to its uniqueness. Fertile sandy loam soil, steady rainfall, and cool temperatures create a pristine growing environment rarely found elsewhere.
