OUR APPROACH
How does it work?
The work starts at origin.
Bunna Origin focuses on building relationships with people in Ethiopia who share the same attention to quality, transparency, and long-term thinking.
From there, the process continues through sample selection, roasting tests, and cupping sessions — evaluating how each coffee develops from green to cup.
The goal is not simply to find good coffee, but to understand the work, decisions, and context behind it.
This is a continuous process built through direct experience, observation, and refinement.
Current References
Twelve reference lots have been evaluated so far: seven from Warden, four from Gujoo and one from Yirgacheffe.
They are not the final selection. They are helping define what to look for in the new harvest — and what still needs to be tested at origin.
The latest comparative tasting brought five profiles into focus.
Natural
Ripe fruit, dark chocolate and broad sweetness, with a less precise finish.
For the new harvest, the focus will be on more even drying and a cleaner fruit expression, without losing depth.
Washed Guji
Clean and structured, with almond, lemon and tea, supported by a rounded body.
The next step is to look for greater sweetness and a longer finish without losing precision.
Washed Yirgacheffe
Very clean and floral, with good sweetness and medium acidity.
The new harvest will be evaluated for aromatic intensity, transparency and length.
Honey
Floral and rounded, with ripe-fruit sweetness, balanced acidity and a present body. The finish is delicate, with room for greater persistence and definition.
Anaerobic
Clean citric acidity and a vivid structure.
For the new harvest, the focus will be on clarity, balance and a fermentation character that supports — rather than defines — the cup.
Working impressions from reference samples. The final lot will come from the new harvest.
The Selection
Bunna Origin’s first coffee lot will be selected in Ethiopia from the new harvest.
Each lot will be considered for sensory clarity, sweetness, balance, consistency and traceability — together with the people, place and decisions behind it.
A score can guide the comparison. It cannot make the decision on its own.
