Where Buna Beans Comes From
Every Buna Beans blend starts with the people who grow it. We source from small farms across Central America and beyond, working with growers who care for their land and their communities, with a focus on supporting women at every step. From the farmer who picks the cherries to the hands that roast the final batch, each cup carries the work of people who pour heart into what they do.
The Farms
Our coffee is grown in some of the most beautiful and demanding places on earth. In the cloud forests of Nicaragua, farmers cultivate their beans on steep, misty hillsides where cool air and shade let the cherries ripen slowly and develop deeper flavor. Many of these farms are small, family-run plots where every step, from harvest to milling, is done by hand and watched closely.
In the pine-covered highlands of Guatemala, growers plant at elevations above 2,000 meters, where volcanic soil and rare microclimates give the coffee its bright, complex character. Here, generations of the same family often work the same land, passing down knowledge while bringing in new techniques like anaerobic washing to push flavor even further.
What ties our farms together isn't just geography. It's intention. The growers we partner with lead with care, for their land, their workers, and their communities. Many are women who run their farms from the ground up, overseeing production with exacting standards and turning remote regions into sources of opportunity and exceptional coffee. When we build a blend, we're bringing these origins together: balancing clarity and craftsmanship from one farm with sweetness and altitude-driven complexity from another. Every bag is the result of that careful pairing.
