Guji Boku Anaerobic Washed, from West Guji, Ethiopia

The Boku Sayisa Station is located in the highlands of Hambella district, West Guji, Ethiopia, and is managed by our partners SNAP Specialty Coffee. The approximately 565 smallholder farmers that deliver cherry to this station come from the region and have on average 4 Ha of land sitting at elevations around 2,300 m.a.s.l. on average. This lot consists of the mixed JARC varieties and heirloom Dega and Kudhume varieties.

The Boku Guji Anaerobic Washed lot starts by meticulously sorting ripe cherries before depulping. Coffee is then fermented in sealed tanks for 72 hours, washed, and laid out to dry on raised beds for over 13 days. Workers make sure to turn the parchment every 3 hours each day to ensure an even drying process.

Sky God’s Coffee

In Amharic, “Boku Sayisa” translates to “Blessed Valley,” and legend has it among the Guji Oromo people that coffee sprang in this valley from the tears of the sky god Waaqa, mourning a servant’s unjust death.

This coffee lot is brought to you by SNAP Coffee, our producing partner in Ethiopia. Founded in Addis Ababa by Negusse in 2008, SNAP operates 7 washing stations in key coffee-producing areas like Sidama, Yirgacheffe, and the Guji Zone.

SNAP focuses its operation on three fundamental pillars—consistency, education, and sustainability. It is within their purpose to improve the livelihood of supporting farmers, and last year their team of agronomists trained more than 6,000 farmers in land and nursery management and climate-smart agriculture through crop diversification and intercropping.

We’ve been working with SNAP since 2024, and needless to say, we are thrilled to build this relationship in the homeland of Arabica coffee.
