About Ethiopian coffee

Ethiopia is the genetic birthplace of coffee. The Arabica plant originated in Ethiopian highlands and was first cultivated for beverage use roughly 1,200 years ago. Coffee is woven through Ethiopian culture: the traditional buna ceremony is a multi-hour ritual of roasting, brewing, and serving green coffee, central to hospitality.

How Kochere, Yirgacheffe coffee is processed

The Buddha Beans Ethiopia lot is washed (also called wet-processed), which removes the cherry pulp before drying the bean. Bright citrus, jasmine, and bergamot notes with a tea-like body and crisp acidity. The kind of cup specialty roasters cite as the benchmark for clarity and complexity.

Why Ethiopian coffee pairs with CBD

Ethiopian washed coffees are known for their delicacy and pronounced acidity. Pairing them with CBD requires a roaster's care: too aggressive a roast or too heavy a cannabinoid load will mute the floral notes that make the origin worth sourcing. Buddha Beans dials the roast curve down for Kochere lots, preserving the jasmine and bergamot character while delivering 12.5mg of broad-spectrum CBD per 8oz cup.

The ZenFusion process

Every Buddha Beans CBD coffee, including this Ethiopian lot, uses our pre-roast cannabinoid infusion process called ZenFusion. We bond broad-spectrum CBD oil to the green bean before roasting, rather than spraying it on after. This produces a consistent dose per cup and protects the cannabinoid from oxidation. The Ethiopian cup retains its origin character with cannabinoid integrated cleanly into the finish.

How to brew it

The Ethiopian lot brews well across methods:

• Pour-over (V60, Chemex): 1:16 ratio, 205°F, 3-minute brew. The cleanest way to taste the origin notes.
• French press: 1:15 ratio, 200°F, 4-minute steep. Heavier mouthfeel; slightly higher cannabinoid yield because the metal mesh leaves more oils in the cup.
• Drip machine: 2 tablespoons per 6oz cup. Paper filter keeps the cup clean.
• Cold brew: 1:8 ratio, 16-hour steep at room temp. Concentrated, smooth, lasts 7 days refrigerated.

For cannabinoid absorption, drink with a little dietary fat (whole milk, oat milk, cream, MCT oil). CBD is fat-soluble; published pharmacokinetic research shows a high-fat meal increases CBD peak blood concentration about 17 times versus fasted state.
