This coffee is a single-origin offering from the Yandaro washing station in the Kayanza province of Burundi, grown at an altitude of 1800 meters. It is a Red Bourbon variety processed using the honey method, which leaves the mucilage on the seed during drying to enhance sweetness and fruit character. The cup profile is thick and textured, featuring flavor notes of black tea, shortbread, and dates. This coffee is roasted to a medium level, specifically suited for espresso brewing.
Established in 2007 by Mark Dundon and Bridget Amor, Seven Seeds was created to embody the ideals of exceptional and transparent coffee.A pioneer in Melbourne's coffee scene, the company's name honors the story of Baba Budan, who smuggled seven coffee seeds from Yemen, breaking the Arabic world's cultivation monopoly. Their approach is founded on transparency, and since 2018, they have published the "farmgate" price they pay directly to producers. They focus on building partnerships with producers, whom they see as professional colleagues.
