THE CUP

Lush, creamy, and delightfully fragrant — Lush Buds is a shining example of a well-crafted Ethiopian natural. The cup opens with raspberry cream and red plum, wrapped in a silky texture, before unfolding into delicate floral tones that lift the finish. It’s rich yet elegant, with a sweetness that feels both ripe and refined.

WHY WE LOVE IT
This lot from Diima Siko showcases the best of Guji’s naturals — expressive fruit, perfumed aromatics, and a creamy mouthfeel that makes every sip feel indulgent. It’s a beautifully balanced coffee that brings together texture, clarity, and floral sweetness in perfect harmony.

What is the roast recency?

We recommend brewing with beans that are at least two weeks off roast. All beans are roasted to peak flavour at around 8-12 weeks. We have the option to either purchase standard beans (at least 2 weeks but no longer than 6 weeks off roast), or rested beans (at least 7 weeks off roast, no longer than 12). For peak flavour, if you are looking to use immediately, we recommend purchasing the rested beans. If you are adding to your rotation of beans, we recommend purchasing the standard and allowing the beans to naturally rest and mature whilst you rotate through other beans.
