Ethiopia: Buku Sayisa GR1, Guji

Guji’s high forests helped shape coffee’s earliest cultivation; families here still handpick at altitude and deliver cherries to community mills like Buku Sayisa for meticulous Grade 1 prep. Raised‑bed drying under thin shade preserves floral volatiles and a citrus–honey line while slow night air tightens structure. Kept at light–medium, the roast protects top‑end aroma yet builds a gentle caramel base: lemon zest and sweet citrus glide over red‑berry and stone‑fruit hints, with jasmine and wildflower in the nose. Acidity is lively but clean, texture lands silky and tea‑like, and the finish is bright‑sweet with blossom and citrus that linger with poise.
