Personal Note: I knew the moment I saw this coffee that it would be perfect for Inugami. One of my goals right now, is to highlight and push Burundi coffees. I feel like they’re the underdogs right now in the coffee world, especially compared to other African origins. The last Burundi coffee I carried was excellent and everyone loved it, and I really believe this one will be just as good, if not better.
It’s an anaerobic coffee with all the distinct characteristics you’d expect, and I’m so excited to share it with you all.
From the green coffee supplier:
Despite its small size, Burundi has established itself among the coffee greats of Africa over the last few years. For better or worse, almost all coffee grown in Burundi is of the Bourbon variety which lends an unusual amount of dependability and consistency to the origin profile. The best cups of Burundi we’ve had are similar to those found in Ethiopia whose wild heirloom varieties gave birth to Bourbon. So it’s no surprise that if you enjoy good Ethiopian coffee, you’re gonna love a good cup of Burundi as well!
Masha washing station buys cherry from over 2,500 farmers in its community. If that number shocks you, it’s important to keep in mind that more than 80% of coffee farmers in Burundi are smallholders. These are folks who only have a couple hundred coffee trees which produce less than a pallet (10 bags) of specialty grade coffee each season. That’s too little to attract a suitable buyer, so community washing stations like Masha sort and blend the local crop in order to create large enough profile focused lots to export.
Community lots like this one are a great way for washing stations to craft a coffee that showcases the local terroir. This particular microlot was selected for anaerobic fermentation then finished with natural processing in order to highlight its inherent brightness and sweet, fruity flavor
