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 its recent rise to prominence, their coffee was often associated with the names of Yirgacheffe and Sidama. Over the past decade, the distinctive flavor potential of Guji has been gradually recognized by buyers. With intentional efforts and promotion by the government, Guji officially became an independent region in 2015, standing distinct from Yirgacheffe and Sidama. Historically, Guji has been known for its precious metals, and its people were traditionally insular and guarded. In the last ten years, local restrictions have eased, and this closed-off nature has slowly begun to open up. Large-scale producers, external growers, and washing stations have started to establish a presence, leading to increased investment and resources across the industry. This has comprehensively elevated coffee quality and raised its visibility on the global stage. Uraga is one of the key producing areas within Guji. Situated at relatively higher elevations, with farms averaging above 1,800 meters, the extreme altitude influences the slow growth of the coffee cherries. Uraga coffees are characterized by **full-bodied, rich flavors, with dominant notes of berries and floral aromas.** 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
