Shoondhisa is a natural gem from Guji—a versatile and expressive coffee that captivates both in a filter and espresso. Its profile combines juicy sweetness and bright acidity, reminiscent of berry compote, strawberry juice, and white sugar, wrapped in a round, velvety texture.

The coffee comes from the Shoondhisa coffee station, managed by Sookoo Coffee, the family project of Ture Waji and his brother Assefa, founded in 2018 in Odo Shakiso (Oromia Region). In just a few years, Sookoo has become a benchmark for quality and sustainability in Guji, working closely with small local producers to preserve the authentic flavors of the Ethiopian terroir.

This batch is composed of the Gibirinna 74110 and Serto 74112 varieties, selected by the Jimma Agricultural Research Center in the 1970s for their natural disease resistance and exceptional cup quality. The cherries are slowly dried on raised beds at over 2,100 meters above sea level, preserving all the rich fruit and aroma characteristic of the finest Ethiopian natural varieties.

The result: a sweet, bright, and playful cup, with the elegance and balance that only Guji can offer.
