Half a world apart, two successful businessmen shared their love of coffee and a vision to create a different kind of coffee company. Abraham Melles brings unique entrepreneurial expertise and proven ability to put customers first and build brands in the United States. In Ethiopia, Yitbarek Retta, a world leading grower of sesame seeds, oils, spices and cereals built a diversified conglomerate featuring import, export, manufacturing, transportation and transiting into a global supply chain that has earned customer trust around the world.
We’re committed to products that reflect our values and uncompromised ethical standards. Because of this we take an approach that is different by design and respects our growers by empowering them to raise crops that beyond merely delicious will favorably impact their lives. By eliminating the middleman our growers benefit from a fairer, more democratized marketplace, providing a dignity of purpose and pride in products that more than allowing them to earn a living, enables building stronger communities and a secure future.
Call us old-fashioned but we’ve lost patience with anonymous, faceless suppliers with more allegiance to spreadsheets and dollars than to customers and their families. It’s why we’ve forged something different with Buna Fresh relationships that have become enduring partnerships which evolved into deep friendships. It’s more than higher prices reaching growers for their crops, they do business with a partner demonstrating respect for their stewardship of the land, inspiring them to exceed expectations with every cup, every year.
From masks to social distancing and more, the Pandemic has changed virtually every aspect of life and lingering over a cup of coffee with friends hasn’t been excluded. To us, it’s all the more reason to make the wonder of a masterfully created specialty roasts available to everyone to enjoy at home, with family and close friends. Nothing gives us greater pleasure than knowing our international specialty roast transcend borders and brighten days for people worldwide. Our love for coffee, like the best things in life, will never change.
