We share in Ethiopia's proud legacy of coffee production with world-class results from traditional processing methods. Then we take those results to the next level with modern processing techniques.
We are a proud Ethiopian coffee farm
Growing with nature
We grow coffee on our own farms in two outstanding specialty regions. Along with regenerative farming methods such as intercropping, bee keeping, and natural fertilizers, we are rewilding forests in Sidamo that were cut down, neglected or destroyed by eucalyptus. We know that without strong native ecosystems there will be no hope of growing coffee in 20-30 years’ time.

Freshly handpicked coffee cherries are processed at our mills, where our teams use a wide range of techniques to bring out the best of each lot. From classic natural and washed profiles in our Signature and Every Day lots to exciting experimental methods in our Premiere lots, we’ve got a wide range of coffees for you to discover! We source the cherries from our own farms in Taferi Kela and Megadu as well as over 3,500 local smallholder farmers, helping them grow their quality, yield, and income year after year.
Explore our coffeesDelivering beans
Getting coffee from farms to your roastery can be quite complicated, especially in Ethiopia. At our state-of-the-art coffee lab in Addis we take care of quality control and export, working together with trusted partners that import and finance your coffee until it arrives safely at your doorstep.
Contact usTransforming communities
Every step along the way, we educate our community farmers and team members about how to do things themselves. Our greatest aim is to transform communities by empowering them, so we work tirelessly at our farms, mills, and coffee campus to encourage entrepreneurship and share knowledge about how to add value and ensure better outcomes for everyone in the community.
Working with our communities
We are honored to work with local chiefs, community leaders, and smallholder farmers to grow and source our spectacular Bette Buna coffees. At our farms in Taferi Kela Sidamo and Guji Megadu we work closely with our family and neighbors to grow seedlings, rewild coffee forests, and train farmers in methods of growing and processing that create opportunities for everyone in our community.
We are a Dutch-Ethiopian family growing specialty coffee and opportunities.
We started Bette Buna to realize the legacy of Dawit's grandparents. They left us the ambitious mission of creating a 'house built on coffee'-- the idea that a coffee business built on principles of kindness, diversity, and community can change the prospects of a whole village. In just 5 years we've grown into a passionate multinational team in Ethiopia, the EU, and the UK with principles of equal opportunity that make possible the formerly impossible in places like Taferi Kela and Guji Megadu. We know that in order to make a lasting impact, we must create stunningly good coffee that enriches both people and the environment that grows it.
