About This Specialty Coffee

Grown in the breathtaking highlands of Hambela Wamena in Ethiopia’s renowned Guji Zone, this exceptional coffee thrives at elevations of 1,900–2,200 MASL, where cool mountain temperatures and fertile soils create ideal conditions for slow cherry maturation and remarkable flavor development.

Produced by Aklilu Kassa Chirrisa at Buku Sayisa Farm, this lot showcases the beauty of traditional Ethiopian heirloom varieties, cultivated in a naturally biodiverse environment. Through the natural process, coffee cherries are carefully dried with the fruit intact, allowing sugars and fruit characteristics to deeply infuse the beans, resulting in a vibrant and expressive cup.

In the cup, expect a juicy and fruit-forward experience, led by vibrant notes of blueberry and ripe plum, delicately layered with elegant floral hints of rose. A gentle cola-like sweetness adds richness and complexity, creating a beautifully structured profile with a smooth, syrupy body and lingering finish.

As the coffee cools, deeper sweetness unfolds, revealing a refined balance between fruit, florality, and sweetness — vibrant yet composed, complex yet approachable.
