This coffee is a single-origin Bourbon variety from the Kibingo washing station in the Kayanza region of Burundi. It is a washed process coffee, where cherries are depulped, fermented underwater for 12-24 hours, and dried on raised beds. The flavor profile features notes of apple crumble, dates, and dried cherry, offering a fruit-forward and satisfying cup with a clean, structured body. It is recommended for both filter brewing and espresso preparation.
