Buku Sayisa is a washing station located high up in the Guji Highlands, in the Hambela Wamena region of Ethiopia. The washing station receives cherry grown all the way up to 2,350m, making it some of the highest grown coffee in Ethiopia. At this altitude the cherry matures slowly, allowing for better sugar development, and greater cup complexity. The result is a vibrant and expressive coffee, that is incredibly sweet, floral and complex, with notes of peach, Earl Grey tea and rose.

Origin Story

Ripe coffee cherry is delivered to the washing station from around 430 smallholdings in the surrounding area. On delivery it is pulped, then fermented underwater in tanks for an average of 72 hours, before being graded in channels to remove the lower density, lower quality beans. The resulting parchment coffee is then soaked in clean water, and dried on raised beds for 8-20 days.

We bought this coffee from Nordic Approach, a coffee importer based in Norway that has a reputation for importing some of the best Ethiopian and Kenyan coffees around. Tom travelled to their Spring Cupping in Oslo in April this year in the hope of securing some of the season’s best lots, and we couldn’t be happier with our selections. We purchased a number of lots from both origins, this being our first Ethiopian release of the season. We already can’t wait to share with you the rest of the coffees that have in store!

New African Coffees

This season, we welcome a selection of Ethiopian and Kenyan coffees into the roastery from Nordic Approach. This marks the start of a new chapter in our sourcing programme for these two special origins.
