Ethiopia Shoondhisa

Coffee Story

Behind this coffee is one and only Ture Waji and his team at Sookoo Coffee. After returning home to Guji, he opened his first drying station in 2018. Today he's helping local farmers, empowering women, and investing in the community.

Region & Farm

Region

Guji, Oromia, Ethiopia

The Guji zone within the Oromia region is nestled at elevations above 2,100 masl, where cherries mature slowly, developing pronounced sweetness, layered complexity, and remarkable clarity. Traditional agroforestry and rich biodiversity make Guji one of Ethiopia's most celebrated coffee regions. Smallholder farmers from Bookkisa and Shoondhisa carefully handpick ripe cherries, capturing the essence of this unique terroir.

Farm

Suke Station

The Suke washing station, operated by Sookoo Coffee under the leadership of Ture Waji, lies at the heart of the process. Sookoo Coffee emphasizes sustainability, careful water management, and fair conditions for growers. The station also invests in training and supports women and young farmers, strengthening the community.

Processing & Flavor

Varieties Gibirinna 74110 and Serto 74112.

Naturally dried on raised beds for 15–20 days, in thin layers with frequent turning for perfect even drying. All that care results in juicy, sweet, and clean character.

The Taste Idea

" Ethiopia Shoondhisa is back in our lineup after some time, and I truly believe this year's harvest will surprise you once again. Ture managed to push the quality even further, and I am thrilled that we can share a part of his production with you once again. My main goal during roasting was to highlight its remarkably clean and juicy character. Look forward to a medium body, a vibrant acidity reminiscent of tropical mangosteen and strawberries, a long-lasting finish, and floral notes of lemon balm. "
