The name "Guji" originates from the ancient local tribe, the Oromo. Guji is one of the ancestral homelands of the Oromo people, who, over 500 years, migrated northwards, making Oromia the most populous ethnic group in Ethiopia today. For generations, Guji farmers have cultivated coffee. Before gaining prominence, their beans were often associated with the names of Yirgacheffe and Sidamo. In the last decade, the unique flavor potential of Guji began to be recognized by buyers. With intentional support and promotion from the government, Guji was officially elevated to an independent producing region in 2015, standing distinct from Yirgacheffe and Sidamo. Historically, Guji has been a rich source of precious metals. The local culture was insular and highly exclusive. However, in the past ten years, restrictions have eased, and the region has gradually opened up. Large-scale growers, external investors, and washing stations have established a presence, bringing resources that have significantly enhanced coffee quality and global visibility. Uraga is one of the key sub-regions within Guji. Situated at higher elevations, with an average altitude above 1,800 meters, the extreme altitude climate leads to slow fruit maturation. Uraga coffees are known for their **full-bodied, rich flavors, characterized by prominent berry and floral notes.** https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53873103724_9f7efc217e_o_d.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53871850452_a9f92fbaf9_o_d.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53872755731_244938168a_o_d.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53873169780_41d8ceb1ea_o_d.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53872755691_11c6505655_o_d.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53873103659_17e7fd27d2_o_d.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53872755686_722f35ed7e_o_d.jpg
