If you’re searching for a filter coffee that’s truly special, Buku from Carrow Coffee is a remarkable find. Grown in the highlands of Hambela Wamena, Guji, this heirloom variety is cultivated by small-scale farmers and meticulously processed at the Buku Sayisa washing station - standing at an astonishing 2,350 metres above sea level.

This extraordinary elevation means slower cherry maturation, allowing for greater sugar development and resulting in a cup that’s both sweet and complex. Expect delicate notes of dried apricot, a gentle hint of bergamot, and the elegant finish of black tea. The body is light and almost ‘sparkly’, offering beautiful clarity and waves of florals and fruit that dance across the palate.

Buku is a classic for lovers of Ethiopian coffee—transparent, vibrant, and brimming with character. We love it brewed as a filter, where its intricate flavours and floral notes truly shine. Each cup is a celebration of the dedication of the Buku Sayisa farmers and the unique terroir of Guji.

Whether you’re savouring a quiet morning or sharing with friends, Carrow Coffee’s Buku is a journey to the Ethiopian highlands in every sip. We’re delighted to share this exceptional coffee with you.
