This coffee comes from Gishubi Village in Burundi, near the Kibira Forest, benefiting from a cool micro-climate slowing cherry maturation. It is a washed coffee processed using sun drying. The light roast delivers a high acidity (pH 4.9) with flavor notes of grapefruit, cocoa, and pomegranate.
Volcanica Coffee began in 2004 when Costa Rican-born Maurice Contreras started importing richly flavored beans from volcanic regions right out of his garage. What began as a side passion soon grew into a family-run specialty roaster, roasting on demand in Atlanta and sending each batch out within a day. Their approach is simple, unyielding: showcase terroir-driven, exotic single-origin beans from volcanic soils, roast them with care, and ship only when they’re at their freshest.
