SYNOPSIS

Jigesa’s distinctiveness is driven by the unique combination of elements in this production area, including high altitudes, rich, fertile soil and exceptional heirloom varieties.

Most communities in the region still live rurally and make a living from farming. Coffee remains the main cash crop for most families in the Guji region, who grow coffee alongside food for consumption, and other cash crops such as the Ethiopian banana.

This coffee arrives from a group of farmers also referred to as smallholders. The average farm size is 2.5 hectares, with corn, grains and banana typically growing alongside the coffee, as well as Birbira, Wanza and Acacia trees for shade. Temperatures are moderate, reaching up to around 25°C during the day and cooling to about 15°C at night.

Arranged by our friend Adham Yonis with his dedicated team also running Project Direct which is the social program directly helping the farming community. Project Direct enabled opening of a school in July, 2016 for the people of Guji. When buying this coffee you make a significant contribution to the people of Guji.
