Establishing itself as a unique production area in the early 2000's, the Guji region is located in the Southern portion of Sidamo, and is named after the Oromo people; a tribe with a long, proud history in coffee production.

Taro Washing Station coffees are typically grown under the shade of a forest canopy and then the hand-picked coffee cherries are delivered to the processing station. After hand-sorting to remove any unripe, overripe, or damaged fruit, the coffee is laid to dry in direct sunlight on raised beds. Cherries are turned frequently to promote even drying over the course of three weeks - the result is the world famous fruity and brightness found uniquely in Ethiopian natural coffee.
