Why Join
Heritage
Coffee did not begin as a commodity. It began as ritual, ceremony, and connection.
In Ethiopia it is buna. In Somali, bun. Across East Africa, this isn’t just a drink — it is time set aside. It is conversation. It is presence.
Buna House exists to carry that origin forward — through coffee that is intentional, refined, and rooted in where it all began.
Origin
Ethiopia
Sourced directly. This lot reflects the clarity, brightness, and full character of its land — uncompromised.

Founders
Two East African founders — Djiboutian and Ethiopian — building Buna House the long way: by hand, in public, with full conviction about where the coffee comes from.
Abbas Hassan
Co-founder · Brand & Product
“I grew up between Djibouti and Canada — between bun iyo salol, the Somali ritual of coffee and popcorn that signaled family was gathering, and the to-go cup on a North American sidewalk. Buna House is the brand I wanted to exist.”
Nahom
Co-founder · Strategy & Growth
“We are not building a Batch 001 startup. We are building a brand that should still be relevant in twenty years, with the same conviction about origin and craft we started with.”
