This central African coffee, from the fertile hills of the Kayanza Province of Burundi and processed at the award-winning Mpanga Washing Station, greets you with sweet pink grapefruit citrus acidity, notes of date move in and it finishes with some savory notes to balance it out quite nicely.

Coffee is fully washed and fermented. Once the coffee is fermented, it is pre-dried under shade in order to protect the coffee from the sunlight. After being pre-dried, the coffee is moved to drying beds located under the sun. Coffee is carefully dried and constantly moved to achieve a even dry process. This process of moving the coffee permits the parchment to stay intact, creating a beautiful parchment layer that is not damaged by the sunlight.
The Mpanga Washing Station exemplifies the effort to improve the quality and supporting infrastructure of coffee cultivation in Burundi. With a focus on “quality over quantity” they incentivise farmers to produce coffees of award-winning quality. According to their most recent Facebook post, “Great coffee requires great skill; and great skill is not commodity but the product of well-trained, well-paid, and well-treated workers.”
