Gogogu is located in the town of Dida Haro Hada Raro in the Uraga district of Guji, located within the Oromia region of Ethiopia. Guji is one of the Ethiopia's oldest coffee-growing areas. The town of Dida Haro Hada Raro is remote and difficult to access, especially during the rainy season. Gogogu is the Oromiffa word for dry and also the name of the principal mountain in the area.
Smallholder farmers transport their coffees to Gogogu via mule, horse, or donkey, traveling along dirt roads. The average farm is 30 to 90 minutes away.
The people of Gogogu belong to the Oromo ethnic group and speak Oromiffa. They preserve certain ancestral traditions and live quiet, coffee-centered lives. Many families lack access to electricity and clean drinking water. Most children do not start school until the age of nine because the nearest school is far away. As a result, many young people remain in agriculture, growing potatoes, coffee, maize, or false banana trees on family or community land.
The first fresh arrival from Ethiopia for the season, Gogogu is bursting with aromas of peach ring candy and gentle florals. In the cup, the coffee is juicy, refreshing, and clean. We're tasting canned peach, raw honey, and jasmine.
Frequently Asked Questions
When Will My Order Ship?
Most orders ship the next business day from when they are placed, unless that is a holiday.
The only exception is any pre-order item, which will ship on the date stated on that item's pre-order page.
Do You Have Recommendations For Brewing?
Yes!
First, we recommend a brewing ratio of about 1:17. So whatever your dose of coffee is for a brew (we recommend weighing your coffee in grams), multiply that number by 17, and use that weight of water to brew.
Second, always try to grind your coffee fresh, directly before you brew. This will significantly impact the flavor.
Lastly, and maybe most important, always use the highest quality water you can. Filtered is always best. Coffee is 98.5% water, so the water you use makes a huge difference.

Is ReAnimator Coffee Organic/Fair Trade?
While some of our coffees may happen to be certified organic or fair trade, we do not specifically look for either of these certifications when sourcing coffees, and do not market them as such.
All of our coffees are bought at fixed prices above the c-market, and 99% of the time we are paying higher prices than the Fair Trade Certified price.
Our sourcing goals are always quality and flavor focused, and we buy from producers and importers we trust to provide us with coffee that fits into our ideology.
