Owned and operated by Testi Specialty Coffee, Hadeso washing station produces some of the most vibrant and expressive coffees out of Ethiopia’s Guji Zone. Since being designated a unique coffee production area (similar to Yirgacheffe or Harar) in 2002, the region has become well-known for the distinctively floral aromatics and complex flavour profile of its coffees, and the consistency of its production.
Sitting at 1,950m above sea level, Hadeso is located in Guji’s Shakisso woreda (administrative district), an area with soils that are incredibly nutrient-rich. Much of the region is made up of coffee forests and pasture fields for cattle, along with a few sites where gold and other precious metals are mined. As the exceptional character and reliability of coffees from Guji have gained recognition, so has interest from specialty-focused producers and traders like Testi. Founder Faysel Abdosh knows this well, which is why the family-owned and operated company has established numerous washing stations here, including Hadeso in 2017.
