Coffee Beans – MAZAA – Guji

MAZAA is a specialty coffee that brings the true taste of Ethiopia right to your cup. Sourced directly from the Guji region in southern Ethiopia, this coffee is sustainably produced and expertly roasted in Denmark. It represents the perfect balance of origin, quality, and care. With a focus on direct trade, we ensure fairness for the farmers and transparency throughout the supply chain. Every bag of MAZAA supports social impact while delivering an exceptional coffee experience.

This coffee stands out with its sweet, honeyed taste and spicy aroma. MAZAA is naturally processed, also known as sun-dried, which enhances its fruit-forward profile and unique complexity. After being hand-picked, the coffee cherries are dried on raised beds under the sun. This traditional method helps develop deeper sweetness and a full spectrum of flavors. The result is a coffee that’s smooth, juicy, and bursting with vibrant character.

MAZAA comes from the lush, forested hills of Guji. This region is well known for producing some of the world’s most distinctive coffees. It lies near the famous coffee zones of Yirgacheffe and Sidama. The terrain is rugged and green, with rich volcanic soil and natural forest cover. Altitudes in this region range from 1,800 to 2,200 meters above sea level. These conditions help create a slower growing cycle, allowing the coffee cherries to mature with more depth and sweetness.

The coffee grown here is from indigenous heirloom Arabica varieties. These are unique to Ethiopia and have evolved naturally over generations. They are known for producing complex and expressive flavor profiles. In MAZAA, you’ll taste a natural sweetness like honey, layered with hints of spice. The body is medium, the texture is smooth, and the finish is clean and satisfying. It's the kind of coffee that leaves a lasting impression.

What makes MAZAA special is not only its flavor but also the way it’s made. Our farmers use traditional, low-impact methods to grow and process the beans. Cherries are picked by hand at peak ripeness. Only the best are selected for drying. They are spread thinly on raised beds, turned regularly, and dried under the sun for several days. This slow drying process preserves the fruit flavors and enhances clarity in the cup.

We roast MAZAA in small batches in Copenhagen, carefully adjusting the profile to highlight its natural qualities. The roast level is medium, allowing the honeyed sweetness and spicy aroma to shine through without overpowering the delicate nuances. Our roasting team works to bring out balance, sweetness, and complexity in every batch.

MAZAA is perfect for a variety of brewing methods. It works well as a filter coffee, but also shines in pour-over or French press. The sweet, juicy notes come forward best when brewed with care and attention. Whether you're enjoying your first cup of the morning or sharing with friends, MAZAA brings something special to the table.

This coffee is Grade 1, the highest classification for Ethiopian beans. That means it meets the most demanding quality standards. Every bean is carefully sorted to ensure consistency and excellence. We believe in offering coffee that is not only delicious but also ethically sourced and responsibly produced.
