Bursa Coffee

Regions & stations

Sidama highlands, and beyond

From the Muntasha washing station in Arbegona to newer stations in Oromia and the Guji zone — a network built for consistent, premium production.

The washing station: fermentation and washing channels cut into the hillside, the team working the tanks with the drying field beyond.

The heartland

Bursa Station, Arbegona

The home of Bursa Specialty Coffee and the location of the main Muntasha washing station. High-altitude farms here produce dense beans with vibrant acidity, floral aromatics and refined sweetness.

Awareness of premium cultivation spreads among neighbouring farmers each season, and new producers join as they see quality rewarded.

Expanding horizons

Beyond the Sidama region, Bursa has established multiple washing and drying stations in Oromia. This expansion allows us to collect coffee from our own farm and from neighbouring farmers, creating a reliable network for premium-quality production.

Sourcing and partnerships now reach into the Guji zone, while we continue to document production and community life through origin-focused storytelling.
