Hadeso is one of Testi Coffee’s key sites in the Guji highlands, receiving fruit from about 500 smallholder farmers in the surrounding villages. The station was established to handle cherry with more precision and traceability, and each delivery is sorted and processed with great care. The combination of high elevation, cool nights and organic small-plot farming creates exceptionally sweet and clean coffees, and Hadeso has become known for producing some of the most expressive washed lots in the area.
This lot comes through Testi’s Premium Cherry Selection program, which rewards farmers for harvesting only fully ripe fruit. The result is a cup that shows the clarity and brightness Guji is celebrated for, shaped by thoughtful processing and the distinctive growing conditions of Shakisso.
Whole beans or pre-ground?
Coffee deteriorates much faster once it is ground, making whole beans the ideal way to purchase coffee. If you don't have a grinder though, all good!
