USDA Organic and Kosher certified, this single-origin coffee is sustainably sourced from Ethiopia’s renowned Guji region and roasted in the USA to preserve its exquisite fruity complexity. Ideal for all brewing methods, it offers a fresh, clean, and environmentally conscious coffee experience for discerning coffee lovers. ## Description Organic Ethiopian Sidamo Guji coffee is known for having extremely fruit forward flavors. We lightly roast these Sidamo Guji coffee beans to ensure the true berry and wine-like flavors shine through and level out into a well-rounded, earthy finish. This bright, acidic Guji coffee is hailed for its unique and exquisite flavor and body. Guji is located in the Oromia coffee growing region of Southern Ethiopia. Due to the climate and acidic soil in this particular region of Southern Ethiopia, almost all of the coffees trees grown here produce coffee beans with remarkable fruity flavors and are also renown for being some of the most high-quality Ethiopian coffee beans. Although Guji is usually sold under the category of Sidamo, this special lot coffee beans are sold separately to distinguish their fine flavor and body. Review: Excelente producto - Muy buen sabor, tostado muy cuidado, fresco...100% recomendable Review: Great coffee, pleasantly surprised - I didn't have high expectations with buying packaged coffee on desertcart, but this surprised me. I've tried the Ethiopian Sidamo Guji (light roast), the Ethiopian Yirgacheffe (medium roast) and the dark roast Ethiopian Yirgacheffe. The medium Yirgacheffe is great, extremely good coffee. The Ethiopian Sidamo Guji is not the best I've had from that region, but it is absolutely the best I've had in this price range, I've paid more than 50% more for roasts better than this. I didn't like the dark roast, but I don't really like any dark roast coffee I've tried, was just curious since I've never had a dark roast Ethiopian, didn't know that was a thing. I will say despite not liking the dark, it was roasted well, dark, but the beans weren't burnt or anything. This coffee has a great consistency. The beans have been fresh across multiple orders, great bloom (these beans are REALLY thirsty, they soak up a ton of water on bloom). I do french press with coarse grind, and the light and medium roasts do have the subtleties and complexities I'd expect from Ethiopian, hints of citrus, blueberry and chocolate with the Sidamo and the Yirgacheffe is a mellow everyday brew I enjoy. Some of the flavors in the Sidamo Guji are a bit muted, but that will vary from roast to roast and with brewing temperature and time. I'm more inclined to think I'm still working on the brew than that it's an issue with the beans, because a few times I've gotten them just right and it's been blissful. These were a pleasant surprise and I'm happy to recommend them and buy again. ============== Edit - September 2024 Okay, here goes desertcart merging these products and reviews again. This portion of the review is for the Organic Rwanda, I bought a 2lbs bag. It's really tasty! Reminds me a bit of the Ethiopian Sidamo Guji beans, but the flavor of the Rwanda is less complex, with fewer flavor notes. and heavier on the citrus side. Tastes a slightly acidic, but it's smooth. It's a light cup, almost has a tea-like flavor and mouth feel though with more of a thicker malt mouth feel than something like ceylon or assam tea. I've been drinking a few mugs of it daily the last few days, and it's a very enjoyable brew. ## Features - This bright, acidic organic Guji coffee is hailed for its unique and exquisite flavor and body.

That may be a funny statement, but it is true so many coffees have additional flavors or their own character. This really is just that good plain coffee taste with no lingering flavors.

The coffee has been consistently fresh and tasty. Since my first accidental order (see below) a few months ago it has become my new regular coffee. ORIGINAL REVIEW: I have to admit that I ordered this by mistake. I have been drinking this seller's Ethiopia Yirgacheffe, which I love. This showed up as a recommendation on sale for $18.95 for the 2 lb bag. I saw Ethiopian and clicked buy. When it arrived I was disappointed, but I am always open to trying something new so I gave it a try. I was very impressed. The flavor profile is so similar to Yirgacheffe - light, fruity, sweet - that I doubt I could tell them apart in a blind test. Considering the price difference this could be my new regular! This may be coffee aficionado heresy, but I will also admit, that I usually mix light, fruity coffees like this about 1:1 with Folgers 100% Colombian. That was my primary coffee for MANY years until I started branching out. I find it has a bright, clean, rich coffee flavor. I am not sure if I can explain it, but to me some light, aromatic coffees are delicious but lack a certain "foundation". It is like a pie that is so sweet you cannot really taste the delicious cherry filling. The 100% Colombian, while delicious by itself, has a neutral enough flavor that it does not mask the flavor of the lighter coffee; it just gives it more body. ## Frequently Bought Together - Fresh Roasted Coffee, Organic Ethiopian Sidamo Guji, 2 lb (32 oz), Light Roast, Kosher, Whole Bean - Fresh Roasted Coffee, Brazil Minas Gerais, 2 lb (32 oz), Light Roast, Kosher, Whole Bean - Fresh Roasted Coffee, FRC Light Roast Blend, 2 lb (32 oz), Kosher, Whole Bean --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/729043483-fresh-roasted-coffee-organic-ethiopian-sidamo-usda-100-single-origin](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/729043483-fresh-roasted-coffee-organic-ethiopian-sidamo-usda-100-single-origin) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-07-06*
