Buenos Beans

It’s with a sad heart that we bring Buenos Beans to the final closure.

The main reason we are closing down Buenos Beans, is that as an international couple, we have families in far corners of the world, and our time with them in this life is one of our main priorities.

Along the Buenos Beans journey, we have tried to find a way for the project to go on with us not being present in our Warsaw home all the time, but the limited resources and time we have available have not made this possible.

This is the main reason why after 10 months of sharing coffees with you we have decided we need to bring this project to a close.

We're not closing this door with sadness only, we're actually closing it with a lot of thankfulness for the moments, the learning experiences, the wonderful coffees, and for you - the awesome people that have been part of this project all this time.

Working on this has given us moments of great happiness - I can tell you, nothing really beats hearing positive feedback from people who were loving the coffees in their boxes!

During this whole journey we've featured 20 different roasters from 12 European countries, sharing a total of 49 different coffees!

We have recorded the podcast, which has allowed us to travel to many different corners of the world in the middle of a pandemic. It also gave us the opportunity to bring closer to all of us the lives of people in places as far from us as Costa Rica, Burundi, and Indonesia, people who often live in realities that are wildly different from those of the European coffee drinker.
This whole experience has been great and it has been a wonderful ride.

PS: Even though the Buenos Beans monthly box stops operating, we are still involved in the coffee world - so if there is anything we can be of help, please get in touch with us at [email protected].

With enormous gratitude,

Aga and Juanma from Buenos Beans

September coffee box 📦☕ – Plantations 🌱 Fazenda Horizonte, Brazil 🇧🇷

We couldn’t close our last box without putting a proper Brazilian coffee in it. Does Minas Gerais ring a bell? The coffee we send you has already taken you to this region several times, but there is always something new to discover!

Fazenda Horizonte is a plantation run by José Maria Domingos Júnior, who has been growing coffee for the last 20 years.

The farm is very well prepared for growing and processing specialty coffee. Thanks to this José can control all the growing, fermentation and drying processes, delivering consistent quality of coffee over years.

Tesfaye Bekele is one of the innovative forces that shaped the success of Guji coffee. If you’re into Ethiopian specialty coffee, you must have tried beans from one of this coffee guru’s washing stations. And if not, now it’s a great opportunity! 😃

Suke Quto is Bekele’s plantation that stretches over the highlands and valleys of Odo Shakiso in the Guji region. It’s also a washing and drying station where over 170 other farmers deliver their cherries for processing. Bekele knows a thing or two about processing coffee, so their beans are in good hands 😃
