In our roastery
We sourced this coffee as a limited time green offering and for students to roast in our Advanced Roasting Workshop. We wanted a coffee that was complex and different from what our students might be used to working with. Fortunately, we were able to bring in a large enough quantity to offer it as a retail green, as well.
Burundi is a country in Eastern Africa located next to Rwanda and Tanzania. We find that the flavors in these coffees share similar cup profiles with those neighboring countries like restrained acidity, pleasant savory notes, and complexity. This microlot is also affordable, which makes this coffee a great value and a nice way to add variety to your menu.
In your lineup
This coffee would be beautiful as both a hot cup and a flash-brewed iced coffee. It has just the right balance of sweetness and acidity to make it refreshing and craveable.
Roast this coffee on the lighter side to offer it as a manual brew offering, or use it in small percentages in a special seasonal blend to add that pop of citrus to your cup.

About
Burundi microlots are selected out of the daylots created by various centralized washing stations. Because the average farmer in Burundi owns 1/8–1/4 a hectare of land, many smallholder farmers will deliver their fresh cherry to a washing station in order to be sorted and processed; microlots, then, are blended lots comprising coffees from many producers that express exquisite coffee, but are not generally traceable to the individual producers.
Masha washing station in Kayanza Burundi accepts coffee from over 3200 local farmers. Each producer has only 297 trees on average on roughly .11 hectares of land. These small-holder farmers are reliant upon coffee for their livelihood.
