Experience the essence of Ethiopian coffee craftsmanship with our Blueberry and Red Grape Burst, a limited single farm lot from the highlands of Bette Buna Farm. This coffee reflects the dedication of farmers Hester and Dawit Syoum, showcasing the very best of the Sidama region.

Grown at elevations between 1,988-2,100 meters, these two unique varieties - 74112 and Enat Buna D’ara Otilicho - flourish in the fertile soils of Sidama. The high-altitude environment, combined with the Syoum family's expertise, yields coffee beans with distinct character and vibrancy.

The journey from farm to cup begins with meticulous hand-picking, followed by density sorting to select only the highest quality cherries. The beans then undergo a 96-hour natural anaerobic fermentation in sealed tanks—a method extended from a previous 72-hour fermentation to enhance flavour complexity. This fermentation develops vibrant tropical berry notes and exceptional clarity—qualities rarely achieved in anaerobic processes.

This incredibly clean coffee undergoes a unique spontaneous fermentation process driven entirely by the farm's healthy microbiome and native yeasts—without introducing any commercial strains. This natural method, favoured over inoculation, accentuates the farm's unique environmental niche and is made possible by their commitment to chemical-free farming. By combining exceptional starting fruit with diligent processing, Hester and Dawit craft a cup that truly captures the essence of their farm's rich, nutrient-laden soils.

Prepare to be delighted by an explosion of tropical berry flavours. Experience the juicy sweetness of red grapes and blueberries, balanced by the bright acidity of grapefruit, culminating in a lively and refreshing cup. Available as a filter coffee, Blueberry and Red Grape Burst offers a multi-layered taste experience that showcases the pinnacle of Ethiopian craftsmanship.
