Ethiopia Organic Guji Dimtu Tora Natural

Organic Guji Dimtu Tora G1 Natural is a vibrant and aromatic coffee sourced from the Dimtu Tora kebele in the Hambela Wamena woreda, located in the Guji zone in Oromia, Ethiopia. This coffee comes to us from Azeb Tadesse and was processed at the Dimtu Tora coffee processing station, a mill established in 2022. The coffee was grown at altitudes ranging from 1900 to 2300 masl, contributing to its complex flavor profile.

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.

About Organic Coffee

The farming system integrates shade trees such as Enset, Albizia, Acacia, Militia, and Polyscias, supporting agroforestry and biodiversity.

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.

Quality Grades for Ethiopian Coffee

In Ethiopia, coffee grading is based on both physical and cup qualities, including altitude, imperfections, and flavor. The grades range from 1 (highest) to 9 (lowest), with grades 1 and 2 classified as specialty coffee.

Ethiopia Green Coffee Beans

Ethiopia, the birthplace of Arabica coffee, contributes only 3-4% of the world's coffee supply, but the variety of flavors from this origin is remarkable. Ethiopian green coffee is celebrated for its bright fruit and floral notes, exceptional acidity, and sweetness. Among the many coffee-growing districts, Yirgacheffe, Sidama, and Guji stand out for their distinctive cup profiles.
