Ethiopia Buncho Honey Microlot
Ethiopia Buncho Honey Microlot
Grown and harvested at Shantawene, Sidama, Ethiopia, a place known for its rich vegetation climate, and its coffee production.
It all started with two coffee producer brothers, Assefa and Mulugeta Dukamo from the Bensa Sidama area. Now Daye Bensa Coffee is one of the major coffee exporting companies in Ethiopia exporting green coffee directly from its own farms and farms of affiliated farmers. Coffee growing was a part of the Dukamo family’s heritage- their father was a coffee farmer but struggled to make good money selling his coffee locally.
Asefa decided to start taking his father’s coffee to other villages that were paying higher prices for coffee. He then began transporting coffee for friends and neighbours, making enough money that enabled him to purchase a truck, and the rest is history. Asefa’s son, Kenean, is the face of the company today. He moved to the United States to study and returned to Ethiopia several years ago to help with the family business. Focusing on quality to encourage overall value increase in Ethiopian coffee.
Process
Honey processing is a relatively new uniquely developed process of coffee making. It takes characteristics from natural and washed processed methods to create something entirely new - a hybrid of sorts. This method removes the bean carefully while leaving behind varying percentage of mucilage on the bean during drying. This translates to a final product that has full body notes, bright acidity, as well as well-rounded sweetness due to the remnant sugars left on the bean.
