THE PRODUCER
Sookoo Coffee is a specialty coffee producer and exporter based in the Guji highlands of southern Ethiopia. Founded by Ture Waji, the company works closely with hundreds of smallholder farmers, combining meticulous processing, careful cherry selection, and full traceability to showcase the distinctive character of Guji coffees. Beyond producing exceptional coffee, Sookoo pays premium prices for high-quality cherries, provides agronomic training, offers pre-harvest financial support, and invests in community initiatives such as schools and local infrastructure — while also promoting greater employment opportunities for women at its processing stations.

THE PROCESS
Fully ripe cherries are pulped using a Penagos Eco-Pulper, then fermented and soaked in water for 12 hours before moving to drying tables. The Penagos Eco-Pulper revolutionised wet coffee processing by dramatically reducing water consumption through mechanical depulping and demucilaging — using just 0.2 litres per kilogram of cherry, compared to several litres in traditional processing, while delivering greater consistency and precision.

The Eco-Pulper's low-water mechanical processing is the defining step here — it's what allows for such consistent, precise processing, building the clean white floral and pear character behind the distinctive cardamom spice that define this cup.

THE CUP
Floral and spiced — white flowers lead, with pear sweetness through the middle and a distinctive cardamom note on the finish.
