Producer
Bette Buna farm, founded by Dawit and Hester after inheriting Dawit's grandfather's land, spans 220 hectares of carefully managed coffee plots. The farm employs 850 workers, providing fair wages, transportation, housing, and children's education, embodying a holistic approach to sustainable coffee production.
Process
The anaerobic natural processing method represents a pinnacle of precision and innovation. Carefully hand-picked cherries undergo a controlled 72-hour fermentation in oxygen-deprived environments, allowing complex flavor compounds to develop. Following fermentation, cherries are meticulously dried on raised beds, alternating between full sun and shade for 3-5 weeks.
