About Bunafide coffee
At Bunafide, we believe that good coffee starts with honesty. We make quality coffee with care for people and origin, and are building a more transparent coffee chain step by step. No empty claims, but visible progress.
We work with roasters that carry certifications such as Rainforest Alliance and Fairtrade. The more people choose Bunafide, the better we can improve our chain and get closer to direct sourcing from farmers in Ethiopia and Kenya.
Our mission is simple: pure coffee, pure conscience. By being open about origin, costs and choices, we show that every cup counts. Bunafide is on its way to a coffee world that is in harmony with taste, with people and with the planet.
Our journey towards fair coffee
Transparency doesn't happen overnight. We're working in phases towards a fully honest and insightful coffee chain. Each step brings us closer to direct collaboration with farmers and a fair price for everyone in the chain.
Phase 1: Awareness and Foundation
We purchase from Dutch roasteries that work with certifications such as Rainforest Alliance, Fairtrade, and Organic. This phase focuses on awareness: we highlight the problem while guaranteeing high-quality coffee.
Phase 2: Beginning of Direct Sourcing
We start building our own relationships with farmers. The more people choose Bunafide, the more we can invest in this step. This lays the foundation for true transparency and direct trade.
Phase 3: Direct Purchasing
We now purchase directly from farmers in Ethiopia and Kenya. The chain becomes shorter, the price distribution fairer. Consumers pay a little more, but know exactly where that difference goes. This is the step where we truly make an impact visible.
Phase 4: Process Sustainability
Once the direct chain is established, we focus on sustainability. From packaging materials to local projects with the farmers. We invest in better working conditions, nature conservation, and sustainable growth.
Phase 5: Long-Term Change
In the long term, we want to support multiple farmers and strengthen local communities. Not only through fair trade, but also by investing in the future of the villages and the surrounding nature.
On the road together
Every cup of Bunafide coffee is a step towards a fairer coffee world. By purchasing from us, you directly contribute to a chain that is becoming more transparent, equitable, and sustainable.
With your purchase, you help us:
-
Shorten the supply chain. We are working step by step towards direct sourcing from farmers, so there are fewer intermediaries and more value remains at the source.
-
Fairly compensate farmers. By making conscious choices about sourcing and pricing, we ensure that the people who grow the beans truly benefit.
-
Increase transparency. We openly share what we know, where we stand, and what we still want to improve. In this way, you help build a transparent coffee supply chain.
-
Stimulate sustainable growth. The more people choose Bunafide, the more we can invest in the sustainability of processes, materials, and local projects.
So you're not just buying coffee, you're also buying progress. Small steps that together make a big difference for farmers, for nature, and for everyone who loves coffee that truly matters.

Composition and origin
Super Nova is a blend of Arabica and Djimmah beans, originating from Colombia, Guatemala, Djimmah (Ethiopia), Brazil, and Honduras. Djimmah beans are a wild-growing Ethiopian coffee variety, traditionally harvested from forest areas rather than cultivated like most coffee. This combination of cultivated Arabica and wild-growing Djimmah forms the basis for Super Nova's vibrant, layered character.
Flavor profile and roast
These medium roast coffee beans have a full and well-rounded profile, with notes of sweet chocolate, ripe berries, and a fresh citrus accent. That combination of chocolate and fruit gives Super Nova a lively character, without losing the accessibility of a medium roast.
Who is the Super Nova for?
With a coffee strength of 3 out of 5, Super Nova provides a moderate energy boost, suitable for daily use and all brewing methods. The combination of chocolate, fruit, and citrus also offers a little more flavor depth than our most neutral base bean.

Frequently asked questions about the Super Nova
How strong is Super Nova compared to Straight Up?
Super Nova has a coffee strength of 3 out of 5, which provides a slightly more robust energy boost than Straight Up (2/5). Apart from that, thanks to the Djimmah beans, Super Nova also has more flavour depth: more chocolate and fruit notes, while Straight Up remains more neutral.
Is Super Nova suitable for all brewing methods?
Yes, Super Nova is suitable for all brewing methods, making it a flexible choice for daily use, no matter how you brew your coffee.
What makes Super Nova a hybrid blend?
Super Nova combines Arabica with Djimmah beans: a wild-growing coffee variety from Ethiopia, traditionally harvested from forests rather than cultivated. Together with beans from Colombia, Guatemala, Brazil, and Honduras, this yields a broader flavour profile than a single origin coffee: full and rounded, with chocolate, ripe berries, and a fresh citrus accent.
Great with your cup of coffee.
