Coffee Origin

The Bensa coffee from Volcano originates from the Sidama region of Brazil.

This washed coffee from Ethiopia’s Sidama region is deliciously juicy and versatile, showcasing bright fruity and floral notes.

It’s produced by Daye Bensa, founded in 2006 by brothers Asefa and Mulugeta Dukamo, who work with smallholders across Shantawene, Karamo and Bombe villages. The result is a beautifully balanced cup, sweet, delicate, and lightly tangy.
