We’re happy to have a direct trade relations ship with Samuel Demisse and his cousin who run the farm and handle all the importing!

The Mill is located in the Guji area of Sidamo zone near small Michicha town. In October 2009, Samuel read about the discovery of a 4.4 million year old human fossil found in Ethiopia and then he cupped Guji coffee and named it after the fossil. Samuel was very fascinated by the news and decided to brand Guji coffee under the name of” ARDI”.

Cupping Notes:
Sweet notes of blackberry and blueberry with a mild pineapple acidity and hints of candied ginger spice; a creamy body and a lingering semi-sweet chocolate finish.
