Introducing the Essence of Ethiopia: Shakisso Farm Coffee
Nestled in the heart of Ethiopia's Guji region, Shakisso Farm emerges as a jewel of coffee cultivation, embodying the rich tapestry of flavors that has put Ethiopian coffee on the world map. Managed by Haile Gebre, often revered as the godfather of Guji coffee, the Shakisso Farm is not just a coffee producer; it is a pioneering force in sustainable and organic farming practices within the celebrated Sidamo region.
We’re finding this to be a full circle moment as Deaton has personally visited this area albeit many years ago back in 2013, for more on his transformative visit read more on the blog mentioned below.
Elevated Origins, Elevated Flavors
Sitting at an altitude of 1800 to 2100 meters above sea level, Shakisso and surrounding area benefits from a unique microclimate that nurtures our Mixed Heirloom variety, resulting in a coffee that is as vibrant as the land from which it hails. The combination of rich volcanic soil, organic farming practices, and meticulous attention to detail in both washed and natural processes allows us to bring you a coffee that is a symphony of taste.
A Symphony of Taste
Each cup of Shakisso Farm coffee invites you to explore a palette of pronounced Guji profiles— from the delicate floral aromas to the luscious notes of blueberries, rounded off with a hint of vanilla sweetness. This coffee is not just a beverage; it's an experience that transports you to the Ethiopian highlands, where every bean tells a story of tradition, passion, and a deep connection to the land.

Proudly “Origin” Organic, RainForest Alliance, and FairTrade USA certified, Shakisso Farm stands as a testament to our commitment to environmental stewardship and ethical practices.
