About this coffee

Sourced by our agency

Tirtira Goyo coffee is produced at an altitude between 2000 and 2350 metres in the Guji appellation. Its name comes from the village where the drying station is located.

"Tirtira" literally means having a strong personality, being intrepid. Goyo is the name of a farmer who lived here many years ago and made his mark with his tenacity and character.

The village, the drying station and now this coffee, natural process, pay tribute to this old local character, Goyo, the daring farmer, who still inspires young farmers today!

After harvest, the coffee cherries are sorted and spread on raised beds, to dry under the sun. This slow drying allows the fruit's natural sugars to ferment, resulting in a final cup boasting a distinctive fruity and sweet notes.

The drying process takes up to three weeks, and the dedicated Hambella Flavor team meticulously turns the cherries to ensure consistent drying throughout. Once dry, the cherries are de-pulped, and the beans are meticulously sorted for optimal quality.

Zone Guji

The origins of coffee in Guji go back several centuries, with wild varieties growing naturally in the region's forests. Local communities, mainly of the Oromo ethnic group, used coffee in their traditional practices long before it was commercially exploited. 

For a long time, the Guji appellation was included in the Sidama appellation. In order to better distinguish the quality of the coffee produced here, this designation was separated by the Ethiopian authorities in the 2000s. This new designation makes it possible to refine the traceability of Ethiopian coffees and, above all, to better reflect their quality in terms of taste and typicality in the cup. 

Today, the Guji appellation produces some of the finest coffees in the world. Coffee here is an ancient crop, grown on hilly plateaus in a dense forest or semi-forest environment, where the diversity of endemic species provides optimal shade for the coffee trees and contributes to the fertility of the soil.
