Just what the Doctor ordered. This is one of our favourites this year, we're not sure we can put Skittles or Starburst as a flavour note, but that's what you get, a roast that gets better the longer you leave it rest.

Roasted Light-Medium to show off the Tropical fruits, bright and sweet with a little caramelisation, with the stronger flavours developing after the first 7 days.

Process

Buncho Daye Bensa is grown in Shantawene, Sidama - a region known for its rich vegetation and coffee production. Sourced from nearby farmers and Gatta Farm, this lot is processed at Buncho Station using a natural processing method.

The station is located at 1920–2020 metres above sea level, with a sunny and humid climate, and annual rainfall between 1599–1799mm.

Origin

Buncho Station is located next to Gatta Farm and a waterfall in the Bensa region. Owned by Asefa Dukamo Korma, the station has an estimated capacity of 600,000kg per harvest, with cherry contributions from 940 local farmers.

These farmers tend to hold about two hectares of land each, and share similar cultivation practices across the group. In addition to paying for cherry at the going market rate, Daye Bensa Coffee offers second payments after the harvest season. They also provide training in sustainable farming methods, distribute improved seedlings, and teach composting techniques.

The company’s support extends beyond agriculture too - helping fund the construction of schools within the community.
