New and Limited Quantity!
A brand new country of origin to us, coffee from the country of Burundi in Africa boasts complex characterists unlike any other African coffee you are used to. Brought to us by the Long Miles Coffee Project, with aims of supporting lesser known Burundi based coffee producers with sustainability and quality at the forefront of their mission.
Roasted to perfection by our master roasters at the line between a light and a medium roast allows for the coffee's savory acidity to remain present, but also pleasant! While many African coffees come with light notes of bright and sweet citrus fruits, this Burundi coffee offers something new and different to the cup: a heavier body with notes of warm spice and dried fruits. The roast profile caramalizes these notes without taking the flavors too far into the classic roastyness that a medium or dark roast offers.
Info on Bukeye Village and the Long Miles Coffee Project:
Every Cup Supports Small Farmers in Burundi Through the LMCP.
Nestled deep within the heart of the small coffee producing country of Burundi, on the border of Kayanza Province, is the village of Bukeye. Just beyond this village, down a tree lined dirt road, lies the backbone of Long Miles Coffee Project; the Bukeye washing station. Bukeye is the first washing station built by Ben and Kristy Carlson, an American family who see the potential of Burundi coffee and its farmers. The Long Miles Coffee Project allows Burundi farmers who usually cannot produce enough coffee to break into the international market the resources and connections they need to bring their honorable craft to our cups! They pay a premium to these farmers to ensure they are supported year-round!
