Unique Coffee

Flavour profile & Process

A naturally processed Guji coffee from Ture Waji and Sookoo Coffee. Berry compote, strawberry juice and white sugar sit in a round, easy cup roasted for espresso.

Sourcing with Care

The endless pursuit of great coffee

Ture Waji and his brother Assefa founded Sookoo Coffee in 2018 in Odo Shakiso, Guji. They work with smallholders from the surrounding kebeles, and this lot comes from Shoondhisa at 2,173 metres above sea level.

The coffee combines Gibirinna 74110 and Serto 74112, two varieties selected by the Jimma Agricultural Research Center in 1974 for resistance to coffee berry disease. Slow ripening at altitude and careful raised-bed drying give this natural lot its berry sweetness and rounded texture.

The Making of Great Taste

All about Manhattan Coffee Roasters

Manhattan Coffee Roasters was founded in Rotterdam in 2017 by Ben Morrow and Esther Maasdam. The name nods to Rotterdam's 'Manhattan aan de Maas' nickname and the old Holland America Line between Rotterdam and New York.

They work with traceable lots from producers they know, from dependable espresso coffees to small competition releases. Each coffee gets a roast profile for espresso or filter, with the flavour of the lot kept front and centre.
