Sookoo Coffee: The Guji Legacy of Shoondhisa's Ture Waji

Sookoo Coffee, founded by Ture Waji and his brother Assefa in 2018, has become a key player in Guji's renowned coffee scene. Located in Odo Shakiso, Oromia Region, Sookoo Coffee is built on a commitment to quality and community. Its beans are sourced from the surrounding Kebeles region, and each batch reflects the unique terroir of its origin.

This particular batch comes from Shoondhisa Kebele and features the Gibirinna 74110 and Serto 74112 varieties, both selected for their resistance to coffee berry disease by the Jimma Agricultural Research Centre in 1974. These cherries are naturally dried on raised beds, preserving the rich flavors for which Guji is known.

With every cup, you'll experience the dedication and craftsmanship that define Sookoo Coffee, a true testament to Ture Waji's expertise and passion for quality.

We are delighted to launch another Ethiopian coffee from “The King of Guji” Ture Waji!

This batch has undergone an initial fermentation in plastic barrels for 48 hours and then dried in a typical natural raised bed for 15 to 20 days.

Expect notes of blueberry, strawberry, and gummy bears with a juicy mouthfeel!

At Manhattan Coffee Roasters, our dedication to coffee goes beyond the conventional. We roast with an IMF machine that gives us a high degree of control and consistency in every batch. This innovative convection system allows the flavors of our coffees to develop optimally in a shorter time, resulting in clean, bright, and sweet cups of coffee.

We select coffee beans from traceable origins, ensuring that each variety is not only delicious, but also ethical. We partner with importers who share our passion for quality and sustainability, ensuring that every cup tells a story of commitment.

At Manhattan Coffee Roasters, we believe that every sip should be an experience, a celebration of coffee at its finest. Join us and discover the art of roasting, where passion becomes flavor.
