Ninga • Washed

About This Coffee

Ninga is a washed coffee from Kayanza, Burundi, grown at 1900 meters altitude. The coffee features Heirloom Bourbon variety. Cherries are floated and hand-sorted for ripeness, pulped, and fermented for approximately 12 hours. The beans are rinsed with fresh water, soaked for 4-6 hours, hand-sorted again, and dried on raised beds for 16-20 days. This coffee delivers vibrant, layered flavors.

HEX Coffee Roasters

Tanner Morita, Chandler Wrenn, and John Michael Cord founded HEX Coffee in 2015, beginning as an ambitious pop-up that challenged Charlotte's coffee landscape with nitro cold brew and coffee cocktails served alongside made-to-order waffles. These three visionaries understood that coffee culture needed more than just exceptional beans—it demanded an experience that bridged the gap between Charlotte's emerging beer scene and specialty coffee's potential. Their mission centers on "bringing bright, vibrant coffees" while building "relationally based supply chains built on mutual respect," ensuring each cup tells both the story of its origin and honors the growers behind it. HEX's roasting philosophy is unapologetically focused on "unashamedly bright coffees".
