In the recent past, Guji coffee was bundled together with Yirgacheffe coffee and Sidamo coffees under the umbrella “Sidamo” name. However, since 2002 Guji coffee (as well as Yirgacheffe coffee) is now recognized by its own name.
Like most areas of southern Ethiopia, Guji is blessed with many regional landraces of coffee. These are varieties that are indigenous to the area, often having grown naturally in the area for decades or even centuries.
The supreme being Waaqa (the sky god in traditional Oromo culture) once had to punish one of his loyal servants for a crime. The punishment was death. After the sentence was passed, Waaqa found out that the man was innocent. Unfortunately, it was too late to save him because the sentence had already been carried out, and the man was dead. Filled with grief, Waaqa visited the man’s grave and wept. As the tears from Waaqa’s eyes watered the ground, a new plant sprung up from the ground – coffee. Because the plant was watered by Waaqa’s tears, and not by water, coffee is considered a special plant in traditional Oromo culture.
