Ethiopian Sidamo Buna Boka FTO

Buna Boka is one of the primary cooperatives of the Sidama Coffee Farmers Cooperative Union, one of Ethiopia’s best-known exporting bodies. The Sidama union is comprised of 53 coffee cooperatives and over 80,000 member households. Coffees here are earlier than in the far south, delicate, and citric. Sidama has one of the most robust cooperative unions in the country with 53 member cooperatives, many with two or more processing sites—the peachy-floral Homacho Waeno alone has four washing stations, also in the Dara district. There are 1069 farmer members in Buna Boka, who average a single hectare of coffee cultivation each, and the vast majority of coffee produced by the members is fully washed.

This Ethiopian Sidamo from producer Buna Boka offers a bright, fruit-forward profile characteristic of washed coffees from the region. Speeder & Earl's highlight citric and peachy notes alongside floral qualities—a combination that reflects the complexity often found in coffees processed through the washed method. Sidamo's elevation and terroir contribute to these cleaner, more delicate expressions compared to natural-processed alternatives. The interplay of stone fruit and florality invites sipping as a single-origin pour to fully appreciate the subtle layering.
