Bookkisa - Natural
Pineapple, Grapefruit and Peach
Sookoo Coffee was founded by Ture Waji and his brother, Assefa. Located in Odo Shakiso within the Oromia region and the Guji zone, Sookoo Coffee currently produce only naturally-processed coffees with cherry sourced from smallholder producers in the surrounding kebeles – in this case, Bookkisa.
This lot is made up of two varieties, Gibirinna 74110 and Serto 74112, both of which originate from the Metu Bishari forest, selected by the Jimma Agricultural Research Centre in 1974 for their resistance to Coffee Berry Disease. After delivery to Sookoo’s centralised location, the cherries go through intensive sorting before immediately being put out to dry on raised African beds for 21-28 days. Here, the cherries are kept in extremely shallow layers and turned at least six times per day to ensure even and precise drying, the results of which are sparklingly clean, expressive and transparent coffees.

The speciality coffee industry is not alone in facing a precarious road ahead. Now more than ever, we all have an essential role to play in protecting the things we love. For us, this means inspiring more people to fall in love with speciality coffee and encouraging them to be part of a movement that helps to protect it for future generations.
We admit that we aren’t perfect. We don’t have any quick fixes or easy answers, but by continually evaluating our process and striving to lessen our impact, we can make a promise:
We will always place sustainability at the centre of what we do and support others to do the same.
It’s time to do things differently.
