The Bulessa Washing Station in Sidamo is run by Tizita Bizuneh, where she processes cherries from 112 small holders. It’s unusual in Ethiopia for a woman to run a washing station, which is a prominent position in the community, but more than this she focuses on helping educate and empower women involved in coffee. She runs workshops and projects supporting women and children, as well as employing a full time staff of 15 women and up to 100 seasonal workers.

Expect notes of black tea and lemon, but with an intense sweetness of cream and a silky texture.

We are coffee roasters and hospitality experts.

As a specialty coffee company, we get to build friendships with a huge variety of interesting and talented people all around the world who are embarking on new adventures every day. From coffee lovers to coffee shop owners and coffee farmers, we get to connect these people and it is such a humbling and inspiring privilege.

Since starting out in 1998, we have invested in our product, people and community. Back then we were just three passionate people roasting coffee out of a small shop in a provincial New Zealand surf town. Today, the only real difference is we have a lot more friends around the globe to learn things from and to share our coffee and hospitality with.
