This coffee is a single-origin offering from the Kayanza region of Burundi, grown by farmers on Rubirizi Hill at an elevation of 1750 meters. It is a Red Bourbon variety processed at the Bukeye washing station using a washed method, including fermentation in sealed tanks for 36-72 hours and drying on raised beds. The cup profile features vibrant acidity and exceptional clarity, with distinct tasting notes of raisin, caramel, and orange.
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.
