Asefa Dukamo Korma / Buncho
We're thrilled to bring back Cup of Excellence winner Asefa onto the menu. This honey lot from his washing station Buncho is outstandingly sweet. Pear, Caramel, with a fresh raspberry acidity that lingers. A true stunner.
Buncho washing station is located in the Sidama of Ethiopia. This washing station collects cherry from local small farmers in the area.
Its founders Asefa Dukamo and MuluGeta Dukamo opened this washing station under their company Daye Bensa Coffee.
In addition to owning their own farm, Daye Bensa Farm, they also own 16 washing stations and 4 dry mills in Bensa, Aroressa and Chire districts of Sidama.

Sorting Level
11-11.5%
All our roasted coffees are run through an AI-powered optical sorter. This extra step ensures that you receive only the most nutrient-dense, flavorful coffees from each lot. The machine is also capable of removing any foreign objects (corn, metals, rope, to name a few) from the rest of the coffees.
The higher the percentage, the more coffee is being removed in order to achieve a truly pristine product. We liken this to how sake-makers "polish" during production in order to reach a higher-quality product.
Nothing goes to waste: the rejected coffees are re-roasted and sold to local markets.
