Megadu Espresso

Bette Buna Estate is located in the Megadu area of Guji, Ethiopia. The estate spans 220 hectares and is divided into different "lots". Coffee trees grow on the estate amidst both wild forest and planted forest. Approximately 850 employees work on the estate, including both seasonal and full-time workers. Bette Buna provides transportation to and from the estate, housing, food, and education for the employees' children.

The perfectly ripe coffee cherries are handpicked before being allowed to rest on beds for 3-5 weeks. During this time, they are moved between lying in shade for half the time and in direct sunlight for the other half.
