Notes from the curator

Jigesa is a privately-owned washing station that is located in the Shakisso district of Guji. The washing station sits at 1,945m above sea level and has coffee delivered to it daily by around 850 local smallholder farmers. The majority of these families farm organically on tiny plots of land and grow their cash crop under the shade of Birbira, Wanza and Acacia trees. Jigesa is owned by Testi Coffee, a family owned company with whom we have recently partnered with to directly source from Ethiopia
