Businde - Burundi

About This Coffee

This natural processed coffee from Burundi is characterized by fruity, berry-forward flavors with pronounced sweetness. The Businde is grown by smallholder farmers in the Kayanza province in northern Burundi, near the border with Rwanda, at altitudes ranging from 1650 to 1800 meters. The coffee features Red Bourbon variety and offers flavor notes of elderberry and molasses. The local washing station supports farmers with above-average prices for high-quality coffee cherries and provides seedlings and organic fertilizer.

Hoppenworth & Ploch

Hoppenworth & Ploch started as a campus café at Frankfurt University in 2008 and has since grown into one of the city's most respected specialty coffee roasteries. Co-founders Matthias Hoppenworth and Julian Ploch have been roasting on a Giesen W30A in their Sachsenhausen roastery since 2019, with a strong focus on light roasts that reveal the full complexity of each origin. They were named Roaster of the Year 2021 by Crema Magazine, and their team includes a German Roasting Master champion. Alongside their three Frankfurt cafés — including one in the beautifully reconstructed new Altstadt — they run popular barista courses and supply offices and restaurants. Their stated mission: pushing toward a fairer, friendlier, and more sustainable food and hospitality industry.
