Syoum Family – Guji Megadu

Paso Paso

Roaster: Bram De Hoog

Bette Buna means ‘the house of coffee’ in Amharic. This lot is coming exclusively from PasoPaso’s own farm, located in the woreda of Megadu. With an elevation of 1998 up to 2200 masl, the owners grow coffee with a team of fixed and seasonal value-adders. The farm is divided into different plots of semi-forest and wild forest of a total of 220 hectares. Despite Guji coffee becoming famous all over the world, it is only after 15 years that the Guji region is recognized as a separate coffee zone in Ethiopia. Ethiopian coffees are world famous for their floral aromas which Bram seeks to preserve in the roast. As these aromatic compounds are easily lost at later stages of the roast they developed a light roast that still does justice to the sweetness of this coffee. The natural process brings out a decadent chocolate sweetness reminiscent of praliné which is beautifully complemented by tropical notes of orange, melon and delicate floral characteristics.
