Grown by smallholder farmers in their own backyard garden plots in the Masina Kebele, Adola Woreda, in the Guji zone of Oromia. Cherries are carried to the Guji Masina washing station, built in 2017 by Project Origin and exporter Primrose. It's a station with serious pedigree: a coffee from Masina helped win the 2018 World Barista Championship.

Brewing Recommendations

A standout as filter, bright and layered. As espresso it turns syrupy and sweet, with the citrus lifting through the caramel.

Producer Context

Masina's coffee comes from hundreds of small garden plots, each tended by a family and delivered as cherry to the station. Every lot is colour sorted, then passed over the hand sorting tables three times before export. That care is why Masina keeps turning up in competition.

Ethiopia Guji Masina: Masina Washing Station

Filter · Aeropress · Espresso

Masina sits in the Adola Woreda of Guji, between 1,950 and 2,300 metres. Up here the cool air slows the cherry down, and slow cherry means sweetness and clarity.

There are no big estates. The coffee comes from smallholder families growing heirloom varieties in their own garden plots and carrying cherry to the station.

The Guji Masina washing station was built in 2017 by Project Origin and exporter Primrose. A year later a coffee from Masina helped win the World Barista Championship.

Small plots, high altitude, a station that sorts three times over. The cup follows.
