Whole Bean  Roast level: Light Region: Guji Altitude: 2300m Process: Natural Variety: Dega, Kurame,74110 Farm/Producer: Buku Sayisa Mill, Azeb Tadesse Coffee Supply This natural Ethiopian comes from the Guji region. We have found that coffees from this region tend to be nicely balanced and pleasantly fruity, especially when compared to the "fruit bombs" of their close neighbors in Yirgacheffe.  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 coffee with flavor notes of honeydew, and jasmine honeysuckle, resulting in a lightly sweet 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.  Many indigenous coffee varieties still thrive on Ethiopia’s coffee farms. Coffee is typically intercropped with maize, barley, wheat, beans, and other crops that sustain the farmers' families.
