BURUNDI
COFFEE STORY
We are excited to have Burundi coffees back in our lineup after a few hiccups the past 2 years. These are coming through the same supply chain with a few tweaks as Jake Smith who was previously selling these to us directly is now sourcing them for Red Fox Coffee Merchants. This is a coffee we carried in 2022 and 2023, and we are thrilled to have it back. It comes from a project called Burundi Specialty Seeds that Jake started working with in 2020. They work with almost 900 farmers near the Umuco Washing Station, each lot being separated into the hill near the washing station that it’s grown on. This coffee comes from Ruvumu Hill. The cherries are allowed to rest for 3-5 days after picking to build up some heat inside the fruit and aid fermentation during the drying process, then the coffee is dried inside the fruit for 25-30 days. This is a light, bright, very sweet natural processed coffee, super clean with great acidity. A great summer coffee to drink over ice or as single origin espresso.
