Meet your coffee
This coffee is a deliciously juicy and versatile washed coffee from Sidama region, Ethiopia. The washing process highlights fruity and floral flavour notes.
Origin & process
In 2006, brothers Asefa and Mulugeta Dukamo founded Daye Bensa, a coffee grower and exported in Ethiopia. Daye exports coffee from its farm, in the Shantawene Village, as well as from "out-growers" (or smallholders) in three villages; Shantawene, Karamo and Bombe.
Going forward, Daye is hoping to work with more farmers, to particularly encourage women farmers and to work with Hawassa University, to help students perform research too.
The flavour notes we've selected from this coffee showcase sweetness juxtaposed with a light tang.
We removed seals on our bags to reduce plastic in our packaging, to keep your coffee as fresh as possible you can use our convenient coffee clips or our stylish coffee tins.

What people say
Always good coffee.
Always enjoy placing an order with Volcano. Love trying some different roasts and look forward to it every morning.
Benjinator, via TrustpilotAn excellent experience all round.
My order arrived promptly and with a free coffee tin. This was my second order and I was once again very pleased with the coffee beans which fully lived up to their online description.
