The Buku Abel washing station, founded in 2019, is located high up in the Guji Highlands of Ethiopia at an altitude of 1900 – 2100 masl. The station benefits from abundant sunlight, cold winds, and fertile red soil, while the neighbouring farmers deliver their cherries for processing.

Staying true to Ethiopia’s traditional washed method, the cherries are pulped, fermented, and carefully washed before being dried on raised beds. The result is a coffee with a refreshingly clean taste with distinct notes of peach, caramel and strawberry jam.

250g roasted specialty coffee in beans or ground on demand, in a tin can with air valve.
