Three generations on the same hillside.

My father grew up among the coffee trees of Sidama, where our family has farmed for as long as anyone remembers. The same hills, the same heirloom varieties, the same care at harvest. Coffee isn't a product to us. It's where we're from.

I grew up between two worlds, Sidama and Europe. Bunaro is how I close the distance, bringing the coffee my family has always grown directly to the roasters who will do it justice. A clear line from our soil to your roastery.

Provenance you can verify. Quality you can taste.

01

Family-farm direct

Sourced from our own and partner farms in Sidama through real relationships, not anonymous commodity auctions. You know exactly whose hands grew it.

02

Full traceability

Every lot traceable to region, washing station, and farm, with documentation built for EU compliance. Including EUDR-ready geolocation data.

03

Specialty grade

Grade 1, cupping 86 to 89 on the SCA scale. Natural and washed processes. Cupped and graded by a specialist before it ever reaches you.

04

Reliable EU corridor

Import logistics handled end to end into Europe via Helsinki and Poland. The coffee arrives clean, on time, and ready to roast.
