Ethiopian Guji Uraga Tebe Burka coffee is a single origin coffee that has gained worldwide recognition for its exceptional quality and unique flavor profile. The coffee is grown on the Tebe Burka farm, which is located in the Uraga district of the Guji Zone, in the southern part of Ethiopia.

The Tebe Burka farm is owned and managed by Ture Waji, a third-generation coffee farmer who has dedicated his life to producing some of the finest coffee in Ethiopia. The farm is situated at an altitude of around 2,000 meters above sea level, with an average annual rainfall of 1,200mm, providing ideal growing conditions for coffee.

The area where the farm is located has deep, well-drained loamy soils, rich in organic matter, and the coffee plants are grown under a natural forest canopy. These factors, along with the careful hand-picking of fully ripe coffee cherries, contribute to the coffee's unique flavor profile, which is characterized by citrus, berry, and chocolate notes.

The Tebe Burka farm has won several awards for its exceptional coffee, including the prestigious Ethiopian Cup of Excellence in 2014, and has also been certified by several organizations for its sustainable and environmentally friendly production methods. The farm is certified by the Rainforest Alliance, which recognizes the use of sustainable agricultural practices, and is also certified organic by the National Organic Program (NOP) of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).
