Filter | Bursa, Ethiopia

Located in the highlands of Arbegona, Sidama, Bursa is part of one of Ethiopia’s most elevated coffee growing regions. Sitting between 2200 and 2350 masl, the area is known for its cool temperatures and distinctive growing conditions. The combination of high altitude and a cooler climate allows coffee cherries to mature gradually, encouraging the development of sweetness, vibrant acidity, and complex flavour characteristics. At the heart of Bursa’s coffee production is the Dawencho drying station, established by Mulugeta Muntasha during the early development of coffee cultivation in the village. Despite its relatively recent beginnings, the station quickly gained recognition for its exceptional quality. Within its first year of operation, Mulugeta achieved second place in the Ethiopia Cup of Excellence competition. The station continued to build its reputation, processing four of the top ten coffees in the 2022 Cup of Excellence. This particular lot consists of naturally processed heirloom peaberry coffee. Unlike conventional coffee beans, which typically develop as two seeds within a cherry, peaberries form as a single, rounded seed. Following harvest, the cherries are dried with their fruit intact, allowing the natural processing method to contribute to the coffee's fruit-forward character, sweetness, and fuller body.
