The area around Buku Sayisa is renowned for producing certified organic coffee, a rarity due to the high costs of official certification. While most Ethiopian farmers naturally practice organic farming, few pursue the formal certification process.

Buku Sayisa, located in West Guji, is a washing station that specializes in natural processing. Ripe, sorted cherries from farms at an altitude of 2,300 masl are dried for 12 to 15 days on raised beds. By meticulously avoiding overfermentation during the drying process, Buku Sayisa producers craft elegant cup profiles like this G1 coffee with flavor notes of blueberry, honeydew, and jasmine honeysuckle, resulting in a sweet and sugary taste.

Traceability is a key focus at Buku Sayisa, where a voucher system is used to track each coffee lot throughout the production chain. This system ensures that every step, from the receiving station to the drying stage, is documented, tying the coffee back to the farmers who produced it.
