This exceptional filter coffee hails from the Buku Abel village, perched at one of the highest coffee-growing altitudes we’ve come across. Grown by smallholder farmers in the West Guji region of Ethiopia, this natural coffee delivers a vibrant cup profile with standout flavours of lavender and blueberry yoghurt.

The Buku washing station is nestled at 2,350 metres, a remarkable height that contributes to this filter coffee’s unique characteristics. The higher altitude allows for more intense sweetness and more complexity in the cup. 

After hand-picking, the ripe coffee cherries are carefully sorted at the washing station before being sun-dried on raised beds. This traditional drying process ensures even moisture levels and enhances the coffee’s natural sweetness and complexity. After the cherries have dried, the coffee is hand-sorted to ensure only the highest-quality beans are prepared for export.

This particular filter coffee has been produced in collaboration with SNAP speciality coffee, a trusted partner of the washing station, working to connect Ethiopia’s coffee heritage with the global stage. SNAP’s efforts, combined with the expertise of local farmers, bring out the best of West Guji’s high-altitude terroir, resulting in a distinct, naturally processed coffee with a refined and memorable profile.
