...in this coffee.

This is the second year we’ve purchased Buku from our friend, Yoni Girmai, and his importing business called Emba. Clearly Yoni has a knack for finding special coffees, as this year’s lot of Buku Sayisa was the top scoring coffee in the African Fine Coffee Association’s (AFCA) Taste of Harvest competition! In the local dialect, Buku Sayisa means “blessed valley” and no doubt, we are blessed to share this award winning coffee with you!

Fresh off the grind we are finding intense floral and stone fruit aromatics. In the cup, a lovely peach note predominates from hot to cold and is joined by a creamy milk chocolate mid tone and lively white grape like acidity. Really beautiful coffee!  We were fortunate to purchase a large quantity of Buku this year so as this becomes your favorite coffee, you can be super happy this lot will be around longer than most of our offerings.

We buy, roast, and sell coffee. On a surface level, this sounds simple enough. But buying coffee in a way we are proud of and in a way that those who buy our coffee are proud of is often complex, challenging, and hard work. We find ourselves on a continuum of buying and selling that progresses towards more sustainable, meaningful and equitable relationships. The chart below provides basic information for each lot on where we are on this journey.
