The Dogo Sodu washing station sits in the Bule Hora woreda of the Guji Zone, in Oromia. It is owned by Morkata Shonora and is one of three processing sites he operates in Guji. The station is surrounded by family-owned garden farms, and it takes their cherry from elevations between 1,950 and 2,350 meters.
Those farms grow the traditional Guji landraces Badessa, Wolichu, and Kudhume alongside the improved selections 74110, 74112, and 74158. Birbira, Wanza, and Acacia shade the coffee, holding the soil against erosion and keeping it fertile without much intervention.
This is the one light roast in our lineup, and it earns the slot: jasmine, honey, lemon, with the delicate structure only a washed Guji delivers.
At the Dogo Sodu washing station the day's cherry is hand-sorted, pulped, and fermented for 48 to 72 hours, then washed through fresh water channels.
It then dries for about two weeks on raised beds, raked frequently so it dries evenly and slowly. That long, even drying is what protects the delicacy. The jasmine and lemon survive because nothing was rushed.
