Coffee from Kaffa · Ethiopia

What makes this coffee different
Slow ripening in the cloud forests of Kaffa — denser beans, more complex aromas.
From a curated handful of smallholder families directly. Only ripe cherries — selectively, over several weeks.
One harvest per year. Current harvest 2025 — while stocks last.
Two profiles, one origin
Both come from Kaffa. Both are picked by the same families. What sets them apart is the way they're processed — and how they taste in the cup.
Arabica Espresso from the Ethiopian highlands
Picture this: a cup whose contents grew at 1,815 m in the misty forests of Ethiopia — hand-picked and processed with the care of a centuries-old coffee culture. That's Buna Arabica.

What exactly is Honey Process?
Only the deep-red coffee cherries are picked by hand — selectively, across several passes through the harvest season.
In Honey Process the outer skin is removed — but part of the sticky fruit flesh (mucilage) stays attached to the bean.
Beans dry on raised beds in the sun. During drying, the fruit's sweetness migrates into the bean.
The result: more body and sweetness than classic washed coffees — syrupy, fruity, complex.
Buna Honey Coffee — natural sweetness from the Ethiopian highlands
The Honey Process is one of the world's most demanding processing methods — and that's precisely why this coffee tastes the way it does. Beans dry with part of the fruit's flesh still attached, giving Buna Honey its signature natural sweetness and complexity.
Carefully hand-processed
Honey Process — the most demanding processing method.

The truth behind the name
The world calls our coffee Arabica — as if it came from Arabia. It doesn't. It comes from Ethiopia. From the region of Kaffa, which gave the drink its name.
We call it Buna. Like they did centuries ago. Like they still do in every coffee ceremony in the mountains of Kaffa.
Frequently asked
12 months from roast date when sealed. Use within 4 weeks once opened. Store cool, dry, away from light — not in the fridge.
We ship whole bean only. It's the only form that truly preserves aroma. Grind right before brewing.
Within Germany: 2–4 business days with DHL. EU: 4–7 business days.
Arabica is the species (both Buna coffees are 100% Arabica). Honey is the processing method. Honey is denser and sweeter.
Our coffee is grown by smallholders in Kaffa without industrial processing or synthetic pesticides. We don't currently carry an EU organic label — certification is economically out of reach for small Ethiopian farmers.
We start at 250 g — an honest tasting size for 12–18 espresso shots. 1 kg bags are also available.
