About this coffee
"A graceful washed Bourbon from Kayanza that emphasizes Burundi’s characteristic interplay of tart-sweet fruit, citrus and floral complexity. Its vibrant body and lively acidity give the cup an appealing delicacy and precision."

Burundi is not typically mentioned as a top-tier coffee producing country but that may be changing. The landlocked nation has come a long way in processing - the results are in the cup! This one comes from the Masha Washing Station in Kayzanza. Small-holder farmers, reliant on coffee for a living, take their cherry to the washing station past cow-filled pastures. Cows are so ubiquitous, in fact, that a common greeting is "gira amasho" or "owner of cows."
