2025 Yirgacheffe & Guji

This month we have 4 Ethiopia coffees from Yirgacheffe and Guji returning for another year in the VCT lineup. Last September, we celebrated the arrival of these Ethiopia coffees to our roster for the first time. As many of you know, Ethiopia offers some of the most unique and often wild heirloom coffees on the market, with Yirgacheffe and Guji producing quite simply some fantastic lots over the years. So whether you’re in the washed camp or more of a natural process fan – we feel you’ll certainly enjoy these great selections that we’ve brought back for you.

Workers at the Adorsi-Testi Wash Station monitor the fermentation process, as well as raised beds to ensure that the lot dries evenly and produces a great cup profile. Both wash station and farms are located at elevations above 5,900 feet. Ships in Grainpro bags.

Guji Washed Bishan Naga

Our 2025 Guji Washed Bishan Naga is produced by the same 850 small farmers that produce the natural process version detailed above. Likwise it is also mixed heirloom variety lot, handpicked, fermented and sun dried on raised beds with simulated shade netting.
