Boun Beans

Boun Beans is a London-based roaster built around East African coffee culture, specifically the Ethiopian coffee ceremony tradition. The founders are of Ethiopian and Eritrean heritage, and the ceremony, which involves roasting, manual grinding, and multiple rounds of brewed coffee served in small china cups called fingals, underpins the brand's identity and approach to the product.

Their most distinctive offering is Jamaica Blue Mountain Grade 1, certified top grade, which they hand-roast in London. This is among the rarest and most expensive commercially available coffees, and its presence alongside Ethiopian and Eritrean origin coffees reflects a deliberate positioning around premium and culturally significant beans rather than volume specialty.
