The Guji Zone

The Guji zone is renowned for its high-quality coffee and rich cultural heritage. Hambela Wamena, where Dimtu Tora is located, borders Kercha, Gedeo (SNNP), Shakiso, and Uraga woredas. The region's elevation and climate create ideal conditions for coffee cultivation.

Smallholder farmers play a vital role in the coffee supply chain, contributing to the area's reputation for producing exceptional organic coffees.

Ethiopia Coffee Grading System

Ethiopian coffee is graded based on physical characteristics and cup quality. Grade 1 (G1) is the highest quality, indicating minimal defects and superior flavor. Organic Guji Dimtu Tora G1 Natural meets these standards, offering a clean and complex cup.

Natural Processing

This coffee underwent natural (dry) processing at the Dimtu Tora site. Ripe cherries were hand-sorted and sun-dried on raised beds for roughly two weeks. The beans were dried until they reached a moisture content of 10–12%.

Traceability at Dimtu Tora was ensured through a voucher system tracking cherries from farmers to storage and conditioning bins, maintaining transparency and quality control throughout the process.

Ethiopian Coffee History

Ethiopia is widely regarded as the birthplace of coffee. Its diverse microclimates and heirloom varietals contribute to the country's reputation for producing some of the world's most distinctive and flavorful coffees.

The Guji Zone, in particular, has gained recognition for its unique profiles and commitment to sustainable farming. The Dimtu Tora Station continues this legacy, offering coffees with superior cup qualities that reflect Ethiopia’s rich coffee heritage.
