Over the years we have offered and highlighted many different specialties from the Yirgacheffe growing district, and this “Gutiti” (a sub-region of Yirgacheffe) is one of the finest. For its close-to- zero-defect sorting as we have seen from a non-microlot from this area, we salute importer Samuel Demisse of Keffa Coffee for bringing this extraordinary taste to us in the US. Grown by small-lot farmers between 1950 and 2100 meters, the pulped, washed cherry is brought to the Werka Bauka mill for final drying, milling and bagging (shipped in GrainPro, not surprisingly).
Aromatically dense and intense, Gutiti reminds me of the Violet candies I ate as a kid and also the clematis in my backyard. It is spicy and recalls some special Pu-erh teas brought back by friends from China…hard to pinpoint. It is one of the best cups of coffee I've prepared in many years.

" Kiflu Hussain July 7 at 9:09am · Surprise! surprise! I have never received a personal or official letter through my employer's mail box. This morning, the mailman came as usual and left a package on the table near the entrance to my office. I assumed that it could be something to do with the Institute I work for and addressed to our boss or the Coordinator as usual. When our Coordinator arrived, she said this is for you. Suspicious, I looked up the sender's name which is totally unfamiliar to me. Also checked from where it was sent. It's from Portland, Oregon. Although, I know two persons from Oregon, one living in Salem, the other one I don't exactly know, the package was not even from these friends. Meanwhile, I was sort of hesitant to open the package from a total stranger. But my colleague encouraged me, thus I opened it. It's from a guy who listened to my interview on NPR, The Takeaway. He told me that he's touched by the passionate discussion I had with John Hockenberry. Thus he sent me Ethiopian coffee imported from my country, as he has been in the business of roasting coffee since 2000 which inspired him to know more about Ethiopia. Well, it would be an understatement for me to say that I am encouraged by this person's kind gesture. I am also touched and humbled to have one more rich connection with a fellow human being."
