In our second year working with Sookoo Coffee, we’re excited to share our first washed lot from Bookkisa. Last year we featured a natural from this farm, but this washed offering stood out on the cupping table for its clarity and depth of flavour. Organically grown and beautifully expressive, it drinks tea-like and elegant, with a soft, pastry-like texture that gives real comfort in the cup. All the while, it still delivers the vibrant, high-altitude Ethiopian character we love.

The Sawana drying station sits high in the hills of Shakiso in Guji, a young site established in 2022 to give Bookkisa and Shoondhisa growers their own dedicated home. Around 30 smallholder farmers now bring organically grown cherries here, most of them tending small garden plots where coffee grows alongside everyday subsistence crops. Ethiopian farms may average 2.5 hectares, but lower planting density and semi forested systems mean fewer trees and famously low yields, which makes this coffee feel especially precious. Expect a clean, juicy cup with a rounded body and a clear sense of place from Guji’s highland forests.
