Burundi, often overlooked in comparison to its neighboring East African coffee-producing powerhouses, boasts a season that we consider one of the highlights of the annual coffee calendar. The country’s coffee is predominantly produced by smallholder farmers, and a significant portion of this small-scale production is of exceptional quality. Burundi’s coffees are renowned for their super sweet, clean, and often floral characteristics, which have led to a steady rise in its recognition on the specialty coffee map.
This lot originates from several of Bugestal’s washing stations. Since natural lots are labor-intensive to produce, each station yields a smaller quantity of them. These individual lots are then combined by Bugestal to create a delectable, harmonious, and fruit-forward profile.
