From the producer

Origin attributes this release to approximately 1,200 smallholders in Uraga, Guji. Individual grower names and farms are not published on the exact product page.

From the roaster

Origin describes an Ethiopian heirloom coffee balancing vibrant grapefruit and blueberry with jasmine and a delicate, silky body.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

A traceable washed Guji release whose current product page publishes the district, producer count, elevation range, varieties, price and sourcing transparency while leaving individual growers and detailed processing stages undisclosed.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Cherry delivery

Approximately 1,200 smallholders supplied the regional lot; individual grower identities are not published.

02
Washed processing

Origin classifies the coffee as washed but does not disclose depulping, fermentation, washing or soaking details for this release.

03
Drying

The exact product page does not specify the drying surface, duration or moisture target.

What was added?

No added fruit, flavoring or inoculant is disclosed.

What wasn't added?

The source supports only a traditional washed classification; it does not support experimental or co-fermented claims.

Why it matters

Separating the confirmed process label from undisclosed sub-steps avoids turning a category name into invented technical detail.

What you might taste

Origin lists grapefruit, blueberry and jasmine.

Coffee profile

In the database. Not tasted. Not scored.

This coffee is in our database because we can reliably document it — but we haven't tasted and scored it yet, and we never publish a score we haven't earned.

Outside reviews and internet discussion — is kept clearly separate from our own review. When we taste it, our full review appears here.

The internet pulse

What the internet is saying about this coffee

Research complete — no qualifying reviews yet

Our research pipeline scanned public reviews, videos, forums and discussions for this coffee (last pass 2026-10-25) and found no independent review of this exact release that meets our verification standards. When qualifying sources appear, they'll be published here.

What we found

The exact product page displays two 5/5 seller-hosted Okendo reviews, but those ratings are excluded under the project’s independent-source rule. Cherrybook’s 47 is an evidence-of-quality index rather than a cup score and is also excluded.
