Ethiopia is the hometown of Arabica coffee, and you can see wild Arabica coffee in the forests of Ethiopia's Kaffa region. In Ethiopian, coffee is called "Bun" or "Buna". Coffee beans (coffeebean) may be translated from "Kaffa Bun". Arabica coffee has long been found in the Harald area, probably from the Kafa forest.

Ethiopian coffee is processed by sun and water washing. The flavor of coffee processed by different processing methods is very different. Generally speaking, the alcoholic thickness and soil taste of washed Sidamo, Yirgacheffe and Limmu coffee are slightly lower, and the taste of sun-processed coffee is more wild. But Essex coffee may taste different from batch to batch, which requires more cup tests in order to find really good coffee.

Hunkute is a cooperative of 2000 small coffee farmers located in the Sidamo region of southern Ethiopia. The elevation is the highest in the producing area, and there are two washing plants nearby, namely Hanggut No. 1 and Hanggut No. 2, located in the Dalle community of Sidamo. It has 270members and No. 1 field is 1850 meters above sea level. It was established 10 years ago, and Honggut No. 2 farm was established 2150 meters above sea level, established five years ago.

The two water washes collect cherries from nearby farmer members.

All the cooperatives in Ethiopia belong to a certain guild, and Hanggut belongs to the Sidamo Union guild, which can sell and export coffee. They will shell and grade before export. The characteristic of Hanggut is that they pursue not only quantity, but also quality.

Due to the lack of serious diseases and insect pests and lack of local funds, chemical and mineral fertilizers are not used locally, Ethiopian coffee is basically considered to be organically grown by default, and now the Hunkute Cooperative has been certified as an organic producer and has obtained Debio Norway,NO- Organic KO-01 certification.
