Coffee Origin

This coffee is sourced from Businde Coffee Washing Station, located in Kayanza Province in northern Burundi, one of the country's most celebrated coffee-growing regions. Situated between 1,650 and 1,800 meters above sea level, the station serves approximately 650 local coffee-farming families and plays an important role in supporting both coffee quality and economic opportunity throughout the region.

Great care is taken throughout the processing journey to preserve the coffee's exceptional character. After harvest, cherries are carefully hand sorted and floated before being pulped and fermented for approximately 12 hours. The coffee is then graded by density and transferred to raised drying beds where it is dried slowly over 25 days. During this period, the coffee is regularly turned to promote even drying and maintain quality.

This meticulous washed process contributes to the remarkable clarity, sweetness, and complexity found in the final cup. The result is a coffee that beautifully reflects the dedication of Burundi's coffee-growing communities and the unique growing conditions of the Kayanza region.
