About this coffee
This dreamy coffee is the perfect example of the expert processing techniques our friends at Bette Buna are becoming known for. Here, a 5% salt solution on the cherries during fermentation gave extra space for the lactobacilli to do their work. The result? A lovely, silky texture to the cup profile, reminiscent of strawberry yoghurt. Notes of sweet violet and lemon complete the creamy candyfloss effect. There’s only 25kg of this lot, so don’t wait!
This coffee is one of several we recently air-freighted to the UK (a very rare occurrence) so it's an extra special treat: you won't normally encounter Ethiopian coffee this fresh, as it usually arrives by ship. We're thrilled to share this opportunity to taste what coffee buyers in Ethiopia taste – fresh crop coffee just weeks after processing.
Betta Buna was founded by partners Hester Westerveld-Syoum and Dawit Syoum when they inherited their grandfather’s tiny family farm in Taferi Kela, Sidamo. With a background in NGO and development work, they decided to grow and scale the farm as the foundation for a larger company with greater impact.
