About Ethiopia Laayyoo

One of our favourites is making a return and we couldn't be more excited. It's the return of the King of Guji, Laayyoo.

Produced in West Guji, in a forest jungle perched around 2100 meters above the sea, this naturally processed coffee is one of the cleanest cupping Ethiopian naturals we've had. Before being known as 'King of Guji, farmer and collective owner Ture Waji earned the moniker of 'Mr Clean' with the his clean cupping coffees.

One of his secrets lies in his drying methods. The coffee cherries are dried in raised beds, and spread over more area than typical for a natural process. They are also agitated often to rotate and ensure that each cherry is dried evenly. Because of this thinner bed of coffee, and frequent rotation, less natural fermentation takes place during drying than typical natural processing allows.

This all adds up to a much cleaner cup of coffee, more sparkle and acidity than you would typically get from a natural, and more fresh fruit flavours. Expect notes of papaya, blueberry, and malic adidty — like you'd find in a green apple, an unexpected note in a natural coffee that we love.

How this works

Simply select how often you want to receive coffee and we’ll ship it to you based on your choice. It's really that easy. You can change or cancel your subscription anytime.

If you order before noon we will dispatch your package the same business day. Located in the Netherlands? You should receive your order within 24-48 hours. Rural and international deliveries typically take a little longer and should be with you in 2-5 days.

December: As the holiday season approaches and we all begin to send treats to our loved ones, the couriers get a little run off their feet. The inevitable delays have begun, so to ensure your presents make it under the tree, be sure to order before Friday 20th December.

Shipping costs are calculated automatically at checkout. We offer complimentary shipping for orders of €30 and above within the Netherlands. We normally ship via PostNL and often UPS, depending on your location.

Before we turn on the coffee roaster in the morning, there's one thing we just can't go without.. music. We curated several playlists for you to enjoy while sipping. Some are perfect to relax and wind down, others can get a bit loud and noisy from time to time. Some have even been put together by the farmers we collaborate with. Keep on rocking in the free world!
