Burundi Busambo Natural

Highlights

“This lot comes from the Busambo community in Muruta, Kayanza, one of Burundi’s key coffee-growing regions. The Umoco washing station—whose name means light in Kirundi—processes cherries from smallholder producers who farm 1–2 hectare plots at 1,850–2,100 meters above sea level. The coffee undergoes a specialized sun-dried fermentation for seven days, then rests in parchment sacks for three to five days before drying for 25–30 days on traditional African raised beds. The region borders Kibira National Forest, where cooler temperatures and higher rainfall contribute to dense, high-quality beans.”
