Natural Processing At Tirtiro Goye Kebele
After the coffee cherries are picked, most of the pulp are separated from the green beans by a coffee pulper, and then spread evenly on an raised coffee drying bed for sun drying for about 18 to 21 days . During this period, it is turned several times a day to ensure that all the cherries are evenly sun-dried. Generally, the sun is selected from 12-3 pm when the sun is full.

About Guji
Guji, a zone of the Oromo region of Ethiopia, is located south of Sidamo, a well-known coffee region.
Guji coffee is been receiving avid attention from the specialty coffee world because of its exceptional flavours. It exhibits typical Ethiopian cup characteristics, while the profile is more chocolate-spicy compared to the fruity Sidamo and Yirgacheffe lots, which are the neighbours of Guji zone.
The small-scale farmers of Guji live in harmony with nature at an altitude of 1,800–2,300 meter above sea level. Coffee cultivation in Guji is a relatively new phenomenon compared to other regions of Ethiopia. The young coffee plants grow in mineral-rich volcanic soils— a conducive environment for Arabica coffee strains.
