Burundi, Kayanza

Origin: Kayanza, Burundi Process: Washed Flavor Profile: Sweet + Mild Tasting Notes: Caramel, Raisin, Citrus Acidity Grown along the high altitudes of the Kayanza province, this lot from the Gakenke Washing Station represents a monumental collective effort. In Burundi, coffee production is an intimate, small-scale craft; over 2,600 independent smallholder farmers, each tending to just a few hundred trees on tiny family plots, deliver their finest hand-picked cherries to Gakenke. The result of this dedication is a wonderfully complex cup that features a deep, dark fruit profile. It opens with rich notes of fig and sweet caramel, framed beautifully by a lively, crisp citrus acidity. It is a bold, satisfying coffee designed for those who appreciate a smooth, versatile brew that holds its own whether enjoyed black or with milk. Pull up a stool and enjoy a heavy, wine-like cup that serves as a steadfast anchor for your daily rhythm.
