What the Brand Says
Qabballe Natural Origin: Guji, Uraga - Oromia, Ethiopia Producer: Teraga Outgrowers - Raro Nansebo Washing Station Varietal: 74110, 74112 Process: Natural Elevation: 6800 - 7700ft Notes: lemongrass, floral, sweet Sookoo’s washing stations are located in the Guji zone of the Oromia region, Ethiopia. The coffee from this area is sometimes mistakenly called Sidamo Guji, while instead it should be called Guji, or West-Guji on its own. This relatively young but already famous coffee area is recognized for its unique and distinctive cup profiles. Qabballe, or “cold”, was given to this lot due to the cold climate from these high-elevation farms that contributed cherry. Ture Waji, famously known as ‘The King of Guji’, is the gentle ruler of Sookoo Coffee, located in the Woredas of Uraga and Shakisso. He has strong connections to the land, its community and farmers, as he grew up in region. After studying, he started as an export and farm manager at his cousin’s coffee farm and company Mormora, and at Guji Highlands Coffee. He was able to start Sookoo Coffee (previously Dambi Uddo), thanks to the trade and coffee liberalization in Ethiopia, building his first washing station and exporting his first coffee under his own brand in 2018. They educate farmers on good agricultural practices and provide pre-harvest loans. Sookoo Coffee has a ‘woman-first’ policy at washing stations, built a school for children, and improved local infrastructure.Qabballe Natural Origin: Guji, Uraga - Oromia, Ethiopia Producer: Teraga Outgrowers - Raro Nansebo Washing Station Varietal: 74110, 74112 Process: Natural Elevation: 6800 - 7700ft Notes: lemongrass, floral, sweet Sookoo’s washing stations are located in the Guji zone of the Oromia region, Ethiopia.
