This Burundi coffee from Ninga Hill is a washed coffee produced through Long Miles Coffee Project collaboration with Local Coffee Scouts. The cherries undergo pulping, a single stage of dry fermentation, density sorting, and slow drying on raised beds to reach roughly 10.5% moisture. Long Miles emphasizes transparent, equitable sourcing and community development through its Coffee Scouts program, which helps mitigate the potato defect and support soil health and climate resilience.
Julie and TJ Fairchild's 2003 leap of faith has evolved into Pittsburgh's most thoughtfully community-centered roasting operation, now spanning seven locations with 65+ employees roasting 2,500 pounds weekly. Their philosophy, inspired by a Walt Whitman poem, centers on creating "solid ground for all" through coffee that serves as genuine neighborhood infrastructure.
