Team notes: chamomile, golden syrup, sweet pastry

COUNTRY: Burundi

REGION: Kayanza Province

WASHING STATION: Izuba

VARIETY: Red Bourbon

PROCESS: Washed

This season we’ve sourced 2 excellent coffees from the Izuba Washing Station in Burundi’s Kayanza province.

Izuba, meaning ‘Sun’ in Kirundi, is our long-term importing partner, Raw Material Coffee’s, production and export operation in Burundi. Mugoyi is the name of one of the three hills surrounding Izuba, from which coffee cherry is collected or delivered from. Cherry purchases are recorded by both producer and hillside, which allows lots to be built which display the differences in profile from locations surrounding the washing station

This washed coffee is washed, de-pulped, fermented around 20 hours and dried around 20 days.

We’ve been finding notes of chamomile,  golden syrup & sweet pastry in the cup.

A morning cup of sunshine.
