Ethiopia - Buku Sayisa Natural Espresso - Organic
Ethiopia - Buku Sayisa Natural Espresso - Organic
We offer this coffee in two different roast styles: espresso (this bag) and filter (linked here).
On espresso this one is rich and syrupy. Blueberry and honeydew morph into blackberry and cherry, and milk chocolate becomes cocoa. It's a big bodied espresso that stands up well to milk if you want to add sweetness to your lattes without adding sugar. Fresh crop, berry-forward Ethiopian coffees have been difficult to come by, so we are excited to bring you a coffee which pays homage to that classic berry-forward cup we all love, while bringing a complex floral aspect that appeases both traditional and modern style coffee lovers.
This coffee is in the line up for our Everyday Drinker and Savvy Sipper Subscriptions.

About this coffee...
The area around Buku Sayisa is renowned for producing certified organic coffee, a rarity due to the high costs of official certification. While most Ethiopian farmers naturally practice organic farming, few pursue the formal certification process.
Buku Sayisa, located in West Guji, is a washing station that specializes in natural processing. Ripe, sorted cherries from farms at an altitude of 2,300 masl are dried for 12 to 15 days on raised beds. By meticulously avoiding overfermentation during the drying process, Buku Sayisa producers craft elegant cup profiles like this G1 coffee with flavor notes of blueberry, honeydew, and jasmine honeysuckle, resulting in a sweet and sugary taste.
Traceability is a key focus at Buku Sayisa, where a voucher system is used to track each coffee lot throughout the production chain. This system ensures that every step, from the receiving station to the drying stage, is documented, tying the coffee back to the farmers who produced it.
