Lulo Coffee built the esteemed Buku Hurufa washing station in 2020. Their focus is on processing Naturals and Anaerobic Naturals that showcase the unique flavors and characteristics of these exceptional coffees while minimizing their environmental impact. Situated in one of three Kebeles in the area that bears the name "Buku" (Buku Hurufa, Buku Sisa and Buku Abel), the word means dust. This region has a fascinating history and was once a stopping point for Borena cattle herders who were en route to Lake Abaya to collect salt. When the herds arrived they stirred up clouds of dust and the locals affectionately began referring to the river and the surrounding neighborhood as Buku. Hambela Guji, where the station is located, is renowned for its exceptional coffee-growing regions including Benti Nenka, Buku, Buleye, Bedesa, Dekitu, Deri, Dabaye, Rogicha, Siqqe Bukusa and many more. Among these remarkable areas, Buku stands out as a producer of highly sought-after cherry. Mill owners from across Hambela regularly dispatch their cherry-buying agents to Buku, leading to a high demand and elevated cherry prices in this region. Additionally, due to its high altitude, the harvest in Buku begins later compared to other districts in Hambela, meaning that even cherry harvested at the beginning of Buku’s harvest season are priced at peak cherry prices.
