Buncho Honey
Buncho washing station is located in the Sidama, Ethiopia. Its founding brothers Asefa and MuluGeta Dukamo opened this washing station under their company Daye Bensa Coffee. Asefa and MuluGeta are children of a coffee growing family. They opened their first washing station in 1997 after many years of supplying their own family’s coffee to nearby washing stations. Since then, they’ve opened 16 washing stations and 4 dry mills in the Bensa, Aroressa and Chire districts of Sidama, and Daye Bensa Coffee is one of the leading coffee exporting companies in Ethiopia.
This honey processed coffee packs a delicious punch. It has a vibrant, juicy body, while maintaining delicate jasmine florality and tangerine acidity. We taste stonefruit paired with a creamy mouthfeel on this coffee, reminiscent of the summer dessert peaches and cream.

Sorting Level
5-6%
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.
