Guji, Ethiopia Coffee
24 coffees · 17 roasters · Sorted by expert rating
Guji is a growing zone in southern Ethiopia, geographically close to Sidama and Yirgacheffe but only recently marketed as its own designation. Guji lots — often from the Hambela or Uraga districts — are known for intensely fruity, sometimes winey natural-process cups alongside cleaner washed lots with jasmine and citrus notes.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is Guji different from Yirgacheffe or Sidama coffee?
All three are neighboring zones in southern Ethiopia growing similar heirloom genetics, so the line is more about labeling history than dramatic flavor differences. Guji only became its own recognized export designation in the 2010s; before that, much of what's now sold as Guji shipped under the broader Sidama or Oromia label.
Why do some Guji coffees list a district like Hambela or Uraga?
Guji is a large zone, and roasters increasingly specify the district or even the individual washing station to signal a more traceable, higher-quality lot — similar to how Huila lots in Colombia often name the specific farm or vereda.
