Shakisso is a name already known to us at the roastery, after having a washed offering from the mill last year. This time around though, it’s natural. Haile Gebre is the owner of Shakisso, both the farm and the mill that collects cherries from over 320 growers in the local area. His work in the Guji region has cemented him as an important figure in the coffee world of Ethiopia, with Trabocca giving him the title of “the Godfather of Guji coffee.” This Mixed Heirloom varietal was grown at 1800masl and alongside a classic Ethiopia profile on cooldown, is marked by strawberry bubblegum notes, orange marmalade, and a touch of posh milk chocolate in the aftertaste.
