About This Coffee

This coffee is a single origin from Migoti Hill in the Rubanda district of Burundi, at an altitude of 1,700-1,900 meters. It is processed using the traditional washed method at the Migoti washing station, where local smallholder farmers deliver their ripe coffee cherries. The beans are Red Bourbon variety, known for its complex flavor profile and bright acidity. The cup presents stone fruit, vanilla, bergamot, and black tea notes, reflecting the fertile soil and favorable climate of this mountainous region in eastern Africa.
