This coffee is a natural processed lot of Red Bourbon variety from the Mugoyi hillside in the Kayanza province of Burundi. Produced by smallholder farmers and processed at the Izuba washing station at an altitude of 1500-1700 meters, the beans are hand-sorted and dried on raised beds. The cup profile features a silky body with tasting notes of cantaloupe melon, honeysuckle, black tea, and plum. It is recommended for filter brewing methods such as V60, Aeropress, and cafetière.
Tereza and Jon founded Curve Coffee Roasters in early 2016 in Margate, Kent, after meeting while working at a small London roastery. Jon first encountered specialty coffee while working at a high end equipment store in Sweden and went on to become a head roaster. Tereza's focus lies in responsible sourcing, ethical marketing, and sustainability across the supply chain. The roastery started at the back of a Margate cafe and has grown to a team of 15 with a customer base extending across Kent, London, and beyond. Sourcing runs on direct partnerships, including with El Zapoteco Cafe in the Sierra Juarez of Oaxaca, Mexico, and the Colombian exporter Siruma. The preference is for showcasing individual coffee profiles rather than blending.
