Trader Joe's Ethiopia Guji Light Roast Coffee just landed at $10.99 for 12 oz whole bean. The pick for anyone who buys single-origin at a café. $10.99 for 12 ounces is well under specialty-roaster pricing for a Guji.
What is it?
A 12-ounce bag of whole bean light roast from the Badeyi area of Ethiopia's Guji zone, one of the highest-elevation coffee regions in the world. Trader Joe's says the altitude, cool nights, and volcanic soil produce a denser, sweeter bean, and the light roast is meant to keep its stone-fruit character. It is part of the small-lot series and available for a limited time.
