The second Burundi coffee in 2026 from Phoenix Coffee Co. Grown in Burundi near Kibira National Forest at 1800–2200 meters, this Red Bourbon is processed via two fermentations, washed and dried on raised beds. It is described as creamy and sweet with a gentle-yet-present acidity and notes leaning toward fresh key lime.
Operating since 1990, Phoenix Coffee holds distinction as one of Cleveland's original specialty roasters, pioneering quality coffee culture in Ohio long before it became mainstream. The roastery transitioned to employee ownership, operating as a cooperative where every team member shares in the vision and success. With multiple locations serving the Cleveland area, Phoenix Coffee remains committed to the values established over three decades of community engagement and excellence.
