Just as Yega Xuefei became widely known after she became famous, she gradually became an independent producing area. Guji was independent into a new production area by the Ethiopian Commodity Exchange (ECX) in 2010. The Guji region, located in the southeast of Yegashefi, is adjacent to Sidamo and Gideo, with complex topographical changes such as towering mountains, highlands, plateaus, valleys and plains.

The geology of the area belongs to the nutrient-rich black soil (Vertisol), the depth of the soil is nearly two meters, and the average elevation is more than 1800 meters. The significant temperature difference between day and night created by geographical characteristics makes the local area have various local conditions for producing high-quality coffee. The biggest advantage of this place is that the soil vitality is maintained through the circulation of natural organic matter, using the withered leaves or litter of surrounding trees, plant residual roots and so on as natural fertilizer. Local coffee production comes from individual small farmers. When the production season comes, the ripe berries around the home are picked and sent to the treatment plant, and placed on a well-ventilated African scaffolding to control the temperature and fermentation degree. After removing the pulp, the water content is reduced to between 11.5% and 12%. When the post-processing is completed, it is exported through the competitive bidding system of ECX.

Gujiso's coffee beans have become increasingly well-known in recent years, and the Nekisse launched by Ninety Plus ®, which has attracted a lot of attention in recent years, and Derar Ela, launched by its sub-brand Level Up, are both from this producing area.
