- Why We Love It:
- This coffee comes from the Guji Zone, a southern Ethiopian region that’s built a global reputation for top-tier specialty coffee
- Named after a local Oromo tribe, Guji’s got all the magic: high mountains, rich soil, and some of the oldest coffee varieties
- 7 smallholder farmers bring ripe cherries to Bette Buna's central mill - known as Megadu Farm - where they are processed with care and precision
- Bette Buna is a vertically integrated coffee company founded in 2020 by husband-and-wife team Dawit and Hester
- Bette Buna isn’t just about great coffee, they're a community powerhouse providing agronomy support and running a tree nursery, employing 50 people from the community - many of whom are women and people with disabilities
- Megadu Farm employs 850 seasonal and full-time staff, and offers a living wage, transport, housing, meals, and even satellite education for kids who join their parents during the busy harvest season
- Thanks to the natural processing method this coffee is bursting with notes of blueberry, apricot jam and florals
