Burundi: Businde Bourbon

About This Coffee

This coffee is produced at the Businde Washing Station in the Kayanza province of Burundi. Grown by smallholder farmers at elevations between 1,650 and 1,800 meters, this Bourbon variety coffee undergoes a meticulous washed process, including controlled fermentation and drying on traditional African raised beds. The resulting cup is clean and vibrant, featuring distinct tasting notes of grapefruit, pumpkin pie, and savory undertones.

Radio Roasters Coffee

Former NPR News producer Chip Grabow founded Radio Roasters Coffee in 2014 in Decatur, Georgia, initially running a delivery only operation while still working full time in broadcast journalism. What started as a side project born from a desire to bring West Coast specialty coffee culture to Atlanta grew into a full production roastery by 2018. Grabow bootstrapped the business from day one, focusing on a tight roster of origins including Ethiopia, Kenya, Guatemala, Colombia, Brazil, and Mexico. The roastery earned a Good Food Award for its Ethiopia Modor Shantawene, a washed coffee from the Sidama region. Grabow passed away unexpectedly in December 2025, leaving behind a roastery built on curiosity, self reliance, and a deep respect for the craft.
