Red Bourbon cherries arrive at the Bavyeyi Washing Station in Ngozi, where the washed process preserves the coffee's inherent brightness and clarity. The method brings out stone fruit sweetness alongside floral aromatics, while the medium roast keeps the cup balanced without muting its vibrant acidity.

Founded by James Freeman in the early 2000s in Oakland's Temescal District, Blue Bottle began when the former clarinetist started roasting coffee in a 186-square-foot converted potting shed, gradually building a cult following for his meticulously crafted single-origin coffees. In 2017, Nestlé acquired a 68% majority stake in the company in a deal valuing Blue Bottle at over $700 million, though the brand maintains its focus on quality and craft coffee culture.
