Shonora Coffee

Shonora Coffee operates in the Guji region of Ethiopia, with coffees cultivated at high altitudes ranging from 2100 to 2300 meters above sea level. This geographic positioning places the production firmly within one of the country's prominent high-elevation coffee-producing zones. The varietal landscape represented in the catalog is primarily composed of local heirloom cultivars, along with one lot classified under other varieties. These plantings reflect traditional regional selections typical of Ethiopian specialty production. The process portfolio observed in the catalog encompasses both washed and natural preparations, with washed lots appearing more frequently than natural lots. This split shows a reliance on traditional methods to highlight the characteristics of the harvested cherry. The catalog footprint for Shonora Coffee includes four total coffees, with two currently reported as in stock. Three different roasters currently carry their lots, pointing to a modest distribution across specialty roasters. The average Cherrybook Index across their lots stands at 51.5. Recent catalog examples illustrate the offerings from this producer, featuring lots such as the Gerba Dogo Natural and Gerba Dogo Washed both roasted by Solberg and Hansen using natural and washed processes respectively. Additional examples include the Ethiopia Gerba Dogo Sodu roasted by Metric Coffee and the Gerba Dogo Heirloom Washed roasted by Datura Coffee. The work of Shonora Coffee in the catalog is characterized by a focused selection of high-altitude Ethiopian lots processed through traditional washed and natural methods.
