ABOUT THE COFFEE

Burundi Burunga is a classic washed coffee from southern Burundi that delights with juicy, citrus freshness and elegant sweetness. In the cup, you will find notes of orange, wild strawberry, lemon tea, and lime gummy bears. Medium intensity and a clean, balanced profile make it perfect for filter methods, offering a light, crisp, and extremely pleasant brew.

Burundi Burunga comes from the Burunga processing station, located in the southern part of Burundi – a region famous for its fertile, volcanic soils, mild climate, and cultivation at altitudes of 1,600–1,800 meters above sea level. Most of the coffee delivered to the station comes from local smallholder farmers who grow the Red Bourbon variety. It is this combination of high-altitude plantations, rich terroir, and careful processing that gives Burundian coffees their reputation for being exceptionally clean and complex. In the cup, Burundi Burunga offers a fresh and energetic character. In the foreground appears juicy orange, accompanied by the sweetness of wild strawberry. The whole is complemented by subtle associations with lemon tea, giving the brew lightness and elegance, and finishing with a pleasant note of lime gummy bears. The result is a coffee of medium intensity, with clear yet perfectly balanced acidity and a long, juicy finish.

ABOUT PROCESSING

The beans underwent washed processing – a method valued for emphasizing the natural characteristics of coffee and exceptional clarity of flavor. After harvesting, the ripe fruits go to the washing station, where they are sorted and then mechanically separated from the pulp. The beans ferment in water tanks, which allows the remaining fruit layer to be removed. After fermentation is complete, they are thoroughly rinsed and dried on African beds until the appropriate moisture level is reached. Thanks to this process, the coffee gains a clean, elegant profile with clearly defined acidity, high clarity, and excellent representation of the character of its place of origin.
