Buliye - Ethiopia NEW!!!!

Product info

This is an Omni-roasted coffee which means it is roasted to highlight the flavour of the coffee and will work well in all brew methods.

Farm info

For the last 10 years the Buliye washing station has focused on processing to produce higher quality lots in their region, something which is easy given that the trees in Buliye village are young and sit at incredible altitudes from 1700 - 2300 masl.

Like many other Ethiopian coffees, the Buliye is made up of a few different varietals - 74110, 74112, and Heirloom.

But what makes this one stand out from the crowd is the creamy summer flavours in the cup. Like a strawberry ice cream, with a slice of lemon fudge cake. Delicious!

Producer Abiyot Boru is an entrepreneur with a knack for coffees. He owns and operates the Buliye washing station and several coffee farms in the region. His focus on producing high quality lots is evident in the delicious floral and fruity notes of this coffee. Expect expressive florals, sweet aromatics and delicious spices.

The high altitudes of Hambela, Guji create the ideal conditions for growing coffee. The warm days and cool nights concentrate sugars in the cherry and create, dense, sweet beans. 

Producers around the Buliye washing station have between 3 and 7 hectares of land, far more than the Ethiopian national average, which means that farmer training and incentivising farmers to improve quality is easier and more attainable.

Cherry delivered to this station is sorted, washed and floated before being placed on raised beds to dry. The cooler temperatures at this altitude means that the naturals take a long time to dry, around 40 days, and Abiyot and the station manager take care to make sure the intense light at this altitude doesn’t damage the cherry and so coffee is covered during the middle of the day.

Buno Trading is a relatively small exporter who has 7 washing stations across various areas of Guji producing specialty coffee.
