Ethiopia Bensa Capsules

Region & farm

Region

The Sidama Region in southern Ethiopia, home to the Sidama people, is known for fertile highlands and a climate ideal for coffee. Its coffees are celebrated for vibrant acidity, floral notes, and complex flavors, mostly grown by smallholders using traditional methods that support the local economy and preserve culture. Sidama’s rich heritage is also seen in music, dance, and festivals, including the UNESCO-recognized Fichee-Chambalaalla New Year.

Station

The cherries are processed at the Daye Bensa station. The station serves as a central hub for the local farming community. In villages such as Shantawene and Keramo, coffee cultivation is a way of life. Thousands of families work side by side to nurture cherries from tree to harvest.

Processing

Heirloom variety. Cherries are handpicked at peak ripeness and carefully sorted so that only the best beans proceed to the next stage. They are then dried on raised African beds from 8 to 20 days, with layers turned regularly. This process enhances body and texture, while maintaining subtle floral and fruit notes.

The Taste Idea

"Ethiopia Bensa forms the cornerstone of our capsule range. Its dominant sweetness of ripe yellow fruit, along with floral and caramel notes, creates a balanced flavor experience. Medium acidity combined with pronounced sweetness makes Bensa one of the more approachable options in our lineup and an ideal choice for lovers of milk-based drinks."

Jan Jim Huza - Head Roaster.
