This coffee is sourced from the Ninga washing station in the Butanyerera region of Burundi, situated at an altitude of 1900 to 2100 meters. Produced by smallholding farmers in partnership with the Long Miles Coffee Project, this Red Bourbon variety is processed using a washed method and dried on raised beds. The cup profile is characterized by a vibrant acidity and refined sweetness, featuring distinct tasting notes of plum, brown sugar, and lime.
Carrier Roasting Co. was founded in 2011 by Ben Doxtator in Northfield, Vermont. The roastery operates a vintage Probat L12, producing lighter roast profiles designed to highlight origin characteristics in small batches. Sourcing is built on direct trade relationships with personal connections to farmers and importers, and the range includes single origin coffees and seasonal micro lots. Vermont Magazine named Carrier the best coffee roaster in the state. The café at Depot Square serves espresso, pour over, and retail beans, and the wholesale side supplies cafés and restaurants throughout Vermont.
