Round, sweet, and deeply fruited, with a versatility that makes it equally at home as a filter or an espresso. In the cup: berry compote, strawberry juice, and a hint of white sugar sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE PRODUCER\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSookoo Coffee was founded in 2018 by Ture Waji and his brother Assefa in the Odo Shakiso area of Guji — a region that has rapidly established itself as one of Ethiopia's most exciting specialty origins, celebrated for its exceptional growing altitude, rich volcanic soils, and the distinctive cup character of its naturally processed lots. Sourcing from surrounding Kebeles, with each lot reflecting the specific terroir of its origin, Sookoo Coffee has become one of Guji's most respected operations — a testament to Ture's expertise, passion, and commitment to quality and community.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis lot comes specifically from the Shoondhisa Kebele, featuring two varietals selected by the Jimma Agricultural Research Centre in 1974 for their resistance to coffee berry disease: Gibirinna 74110 and Serto 74112. At 2,173 MASL in Guji's cool, high-altitude growing environment, these varietals produce naturally processed coffees of deep sweetness, vibrant fruit character, and exceptional aromatic complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE PROCESS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Natural process at Shoondhisa involves:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🍒 Hand-picking — Gibirinna 74110 and Serto 74112 cherries selectively harvested at peak ripeness 🔍 Sorting — Carefully sorted before drying to ensure consistency and quality ☀️ Raised-bed drying — Whole cherries dried on raised beds, turned regularly to ensure even drying throughout\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe raised-bed natural drying is the defining step — the beans rest inside the intact cherry throughout the drying period, slowly absorbing the fruit's sugars and building the berry compote richness, strawberry juice brightness, and white sugar sweetness that define this lot while the exceptional altitude of Shoondhisa keeps the process clean and well-structured throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE CUP\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA round, sweet, and deeply fruited natural from one of Guji's most purposeful and quality-driven specialty operations — berry compote richness, strawberry juice vibrancy, and a white sugar sweetness in a cup with a round mouthfeel and the versatility to shine equally as filter or espresso.
