MAGIC PUSSY | Ethiopia, Guji, BIO ORGANIC Coffee 200g

Region: Guji

The Guji Highland Coffee Plantation

Manager: Wadessa Yachisa

Magic Pussy  is our most well-known Rocket Bean espresso. And not only because of its name, but it is also complex by nature. It is always sweet and juicy and has floral notes at the end of the enjoyment. It is a flavour explosion in your mouth. Once you try it, you will never forget it. It has such a long-lasting, divine aftertaste, which gives your throat a comforting sensation, like the one that makes little kittens purr whilst they enjoy their warm milk.

Taste notes – Jasmin, butter cookies, plum, chocolate truffle

The village of Hangadhi

The village of Hangadhi is located a few kilometres from the town of Shakisso, in the Guji area. The Guji Highland Coffee Plantation has set up a drying station there with about 40 African beds. The coffee dried in Hangadhi is collected from thirty or so farmers who work the surrounding plots. They are small family farms covering just a few hectares on average, worked exclusively by hand by farmers possessing ancient know-how. The coffee here is grown in orchards using polyculture farming systems that mix beans, cabbage, and enset. This last plant also called the “false banana” on account of its shape, holds an important place in the region’s agricultural system because its root is used in the staple diet of local populations. Combining coffee farming with food crops works particularly well, thanks in part to the region’s rich, moist soils which produce cherries of a particularly high quality.

The Guji Highland Coffee Plantation has recently acquired 45 hectares of coffee plantations in Hangadhi. Here, too, the company is raising its quality requirements while maintaining agricultural practices that respect biodiversity.
