This Burundi coffee comes from the Muyinga region at 1500 meters altitude. The Bourbon variety beans are fully washed, first depulped and washed, then fermented for 14 hours before being dried on traditional African mats. The coffee features a light roast that produces a silky smooth mouthfeel with playful acidity and fruity notes of orange, blackberry, clove, and raspberry. The coffee scores 83 on the SCA scale and is certified organic by Certisys BE-BIO-01. Grown in the hills and mountains where the microclimate and fertile soil create ideal conditions for specialty coffee production.
Corica's story spans over 170 years, beginning in 1850 in Brussels where the Wulleman family established their first roastery. From 2011 onwards, Marie Helene Callewaert and her son took the helm, becoming the third generation of roasters in this storied lineage. Today, Corica represents continuity and evolution in Belgian coffee culture, offering strictly selected and organically certified coffees roasted artisanally with modern equipment. Their workshop near Brussels' Grand Place showcases expertise built across decades, with their process enhancing the aromas of 28 Arabica varieties while maintaining an unwavering commitment to taste and quality.
