This coffee is carefully selected and prepared by S.A. Bagersh from multiple smallholder producers in Guji. The Bagersh family is widely recognized in Ethiopia for its focus on lot preparation and process control, supporting consistent grading and export-ready standards across their coffees. As a natural coffee, ripe cherries are dried whole—commonly on raised beds—and carefully managed to ensure even drying before final sorting and preparation. The Grade 4 designation reflects a lot prepared to meet established commercial standards, prioritizing stability and consistency for shipment. Sourced from Guji in southern Ethiopia, within the Oromia region, this coffee is grown in highland areas where smallholder families cultivate coffee on small plots. Production follows largely traditional practices, with limited mechanization, selective hand-picking, and diversified “coffee garden” systems closely integrated with local communities.
