About This Coffee

This is our first year working with the Ruvumu washing station. We have always loved coffees from Burundi, and these profiles hold a special place for us. This marks the beginning of expanding our exploration of this remarkable coffee-producing country. In the cup we find blood orange, baking spice, and purple fruit. This lot comes to us through a new supply chain in Burundi. Coffees from Burundi offer some of the most distinctive profiles we encounter. At the same time, it remains a challenging country to source from. This lot marks the beginning of an effort to expand our exploration of this remarkable origin. Varieties in Burundi are not exactly straightforward. We know that Red Bourbon and Mibirizi are being cultivated; however, we don't know at what relative percentages. Based on the history of production in Burundi there is also most likely some SL34 being grown as well.
