We’re thrilled to welcome back for a second consecutive season this remarkable coffee from the Buku Abel washing station, high up in the Guji Highlands of Ethiopia.

It’s an absolutely stunning example of natural processed coffee from this region - round, sweet and juicy, reminding us of blueberry jam and summer pudding, with hints of lavender.

The Buku Abel washing station sits atop a small hill with great exposure to sunlight, cold winds, and rich, fertile red soil. The station is managed by Gizachew Dugo Wako (pictured above) and is owned by Ermias Eshetu (pictured below on the left). Gizachew graduated from the Adama University School of Agriculture in 2009 with a diploma in Plant Science, and has since gained qualifications in management and marketing. He oversees an incredibly organised and well-managed processing protocol at Buku Abel, which is expressed in the most delicious of cup profiles.

Last harvest Buku Abel received cherry from 399 local farmers. The farmers deliver cherry to the washing station around midday each day during harvest season, and the coffee is then sorted until late afternoon. It is then laid out to dry on raised beds for 18-21 days until optimal moisture content has been reached.
