This coffee was made at the special request of our head roaster.
When Rafał joined the team and sat down with us for his very first cupping, he blurted out right away, “Hey, I don’t think you’ve ever had a coffee from Burundi, and I love them so much!” We had, but a long time ago! So, we decided to make Rafał’s life a bit sweeter—we ordered samples and picked this (and one more!) fantastic lot.
Located in the Ngozi Province, the Mubuga washing station works with over 1,900 local farmers who deliver their carefully handpicked harvest here every year. This place stands out for its impressive technical infrastructure, designed specifically for the precise processing of only the finest, fully ripe coffee cherries. The station’s facilities include as many as 12 fermentation tanks, 3 soaking tanks, over 300 drying beds, and 4 specialized tables for quality grading.
Harvesting in this region usually runs from April to June, but the coffee’s journey to your cup is only just beginning then. Burundi is a completely landlocked country—before these exceptional beans head out into the world and reach our roastery, they have to travel an exceptionally long, demanding, and complex route.
