The administrative region of Ethiopia is divided into four grades, the order from big to small is Region, Zone, woreda and kebele. Most of the names of raw coffee beans follow this rule. Guji-Shaquiso, which is located in the southeast of Yejia Sheffield, a well-known producing area, belongs to Oromia Region → Guji Zone → Shakisso woreda, belonging to the regional source of coffee beans.

Just like Yejia Xuefei became well-known after becoming famous, so it became an independent producing area. Guji became an independent production area by ECX in 2010 because of its superior geographical location and cup flavor. Shakisso (sometimes translated as Shakiso) is the most attractive micro-producing area in the Guji producing area, which is located in the southeast of Yejia Shifei, with an average altitude of more than 1800 meters, fertile black soil (Vertisol), and a significant temperature difference between day and night, so that the local has all kinds of local conditions to produce high-quality boutique coffee. Almost all the sources of local coffee production belong to the form of individual small farmers. At the arrival of the production season, the ripe red transparent berries from their neighbors are picked and sent to the treatment plant, and placed on a well-ventilated African scaffolding to control the temperature and fermentation degree. After the pulp is removed, the water content is reduced to between 11.5% and 12%. When the post-processing and static operation are completed, the export is done through the competitive bidding system of the ECX Ethiopia Commodity Exchange. Local exporters or international buyers follow this system to find their favorite raw coffee beans.

In recent years, the most eye-catching producing area in Ethiopia is Yejia Sheffield. Guji-Shaquiso is less known than Yejia Sheffield, but under the trend of soaring overall prices of Yejia Sheffield in 2015, international boutique buyers have turned to other neighboring producing areas, such as Sidamo, Limu and Jimma.... Wait, wait,

Guji-Shaquiso coffee is actually quite unique, and the coffee produced has also repeatedly attracted market attention. Ninty Plus launched the legendary bean Nekisse at the end of 2009, which originally means "nectar from Shaquiso" (Nectar from Shakisso). The origin and naming come from Shakisso. Another Level Up-produced Derar Ela, which is also produced in Shaquiso, was repeatedly praised by domestic operators last year, and won an excellent score of 95 Coffee Review points in April 2014.
