    About this coffee

    Awash River is sourced from smallholder farmers in the Guji and Sidamo regions of southern Ethiopia. These farmers cultivate heirloom arabica varietals that grow semi-wild at high altitude, combining traditional Ethiopian practices with careful hand-picking and sorting. Their attention to detail ensures the cherries develop complex sweetness and clarity, producing a distinctive and expressive coffee.

    Awash River Guji is a naturally processed heirloom coffee from the fertile highlands along the River Awash, which flows almost 750 miles through Ethiopia’s great rift valley. This river is more than a water source, the middle Awash is historically known as “the cradle of humankind,” home to some of the most significant archaeological discoveries, including the famous hominid fossil “Lucy.”

    Ethiopia is also the birthplace of arabica coffee. While wild coffee still grows in many areas, farmers in Guji and Sidamo cultivate heirloom varietals on their own land, maintaining centuries of coffee heritage.
