Shakisso Farm - Shakisso

Located at a breathtaking 2,150 meters above sea level in the Oromia region, Shakisso Farm represents the incredible potential of Ethiopia's Guji zone. Prior to 2015, Guji was primarily known for its gold mining, but it has rapidly emerged as one of the most exciting and celebrated coffee-growing regions in the world. The local farms are strictly organic and traditionally small, averaging just 1 to 2 hectares. Here, coffee is shade-grown in beautiful, diversified ecosystems, naturally intercropped with shade and fruit trees like mango, papaya, and African plums.

This region's coffee is cultivated largely by the Oromo people, an ethnic group with a profound, centuries-old tradition in both farming and trade. Their deep connection to the land and meticulous agricultural practices are reflected in every harvest, beautifully transforming this rugged, high-altitude terrain into a world-class source of vibrant, profoundly complex specialty coffees.

About the process

WHAT IS A Red Honey PROCESS?

It belongs to the Honey coffee processes.

IN THIS COFFEE:

After pulping, the beans are spread across raised African beds with a careful amount of sweet mucilage still attached. Because this sticky layer ferments quickly, the producers employ meticulous shade management and constant, highly controlled turning to ensure a slow, even drying phase.

ABOUT THE VARIETAL

GENERAL INFORMATION:

  • NAME: 74112
  • MOTHER SPECIES: Arabica
  • RIPE CHERRY COLOUR: Red

TYPICAL CUP PROFILE:

The 74112 varietal is highly prized for its delicate, tea-like elegance and sparkling citric acidity. It typically delivers a refined, beautifully structured cup characterized by vibrant floral aromatics, bright citrus (like bergamot or sweet orange), and a refreshing, clean finish.

GENETIC ORIGIN & HISTORY:

Selected in 1974 by the Jimma Agricultural Research Center (JARC) from a specific mother tree in the Metu-Bishari forest, the 74112 varietal was originally cataloged as part of a national initiative to combat Coffee Berry Disease. Officially released to farmers in 1979, its exceptional resilience and profound cup quality have made it an absolute cornerstone of Ethiopian specialty coffee, beloved globally for its classic, terroir-driven flavor profile.
