Ana Sora – Ethiopia
This natural Guji coffee has amassed a cult following for its strawberry flavour – a feature so potent you may think we added something to the roast (we did not).
Ana Sora is owned by Israel Degfa and is one of the few private estates in Ethiopia. His coffees grow at soaring high altitudes and are naturally processed and sorted with precision to make every cherry explode with jammy complexity. A masterclass in what adventurous coffee can be.

The Land
Guji, Ethiopia
The Guji region of Ethiopia is renowned worldwide. Nestled within the lush landscapes of the Oromia region, Guji benefits from an ideal combination of high altitude, volcanic soil, and climate, all contributing to the distinct character of its coffee beans. The highlands of Guji create optimal conditions for slow maturation and concentrated flavour development.
Guji is influenced by its positioning near the Great Rift Valley, where consistent rainfall and mild temperatures are crucial factors in coffee cultivation.
