Bette Buna
Bette Buna is a vertically integrated coffee company founded in 2020 by husband-and-wife Dawit and Hester. Their coffee journey began following the passing of Dawit’s grandfather, who farmed coffee with his wife, Emame, in Tefari Kela, Sidama for nearly a century. Dawit and Hester took over operations at the family farm committed to the mission of creating equal opportunities for coffee communities through the production of outstanding coffee. Today, Bette Buna operates farms in the coffee growing regions of Guji, Yirgacheffe, Sidama, and Bench Maji, as well as sourcing coffee from allied farmers throughout these regions.
Two local chiefs, Duba and Saffay, play an essential role in the team’s work in Guji. As highly respected community leaders, they help manage the farm plots and ensure that coffee can be grown in a sustainable way. Their knowledge of social structures and ability to address issues within the community have been invaluable.
In the Cup
This coffee is an amazingly special coffee, it's the only of its kind produced at Bette Buna this year. When hot, the aromatics are floral with a nectarine-like sweetness. On the first sip, we are hit with light blueberry and rosewater notes. There is a caramelly sweetness which remains as a silky mouthfeel remains on the tongue. As it cools, it becomes sweeter with nutty qualities of almond and hazelnut, reminding us of a beautiful sweet-tart cherry and blueberry cobbler. Overall, this coffee is a sweet, dynamic and delicious treat that is sure to make any morning a little bit more lovely.
