About This Coffee

This naturally processed coffee is sourced from the Ruvumu community near Kayanza in northern Burundi. Grown at altitudes between 1,800 and 2,200 meters in rich red clay soils, the coffee is processed at the Umoco washing station using a natural fermentation and drying program on traditional African raised beds. The cup profile features juicy orange and yellow fruit notes, including passionfruit, mango, and pineapple, balanced by a brown sugar sweetness.

Bellwood Coffee

Bellwood Coffee was founded in 2018 by brothers Joel and Charles Norman in Atlanta, Georgia, with creative direction from Tommy Keough and initial roasting led by Ben Shaum, who devoted a year long Emory University fellowship to studying the social impact of coffee buying. Joel now leads roasting at the 3,000 square foot Riverside flagship, where a self contained roaster produces small batches weekly with a lighter, flavour forward profile designed to let natural characteristics shine. The company has grown to five locations across Atlanta, including a partnership with the Little Shop of Stories bookstore in Decatur. All sourcing emphasises traceability through direct relationships with importers and producers, and the range rotates through around 10 coffees at any given time.
