This medium roast coffee is a true hidden gem, known for its unique and vibrant flavor profile that delights the palate and stands out among coffee connoisseurs.

Origin and Process

This exceptional coffee originates from the Kibingo Central Washing Station, located in the Kayanza commune of northern Burundi. Kayanza is renowned for its ideal coffee-growing conditions, with rich, volcanic soils and a climate that supports optimal coffee cultivation year-round. The Kibingo station processes the crops of approximately 3,600 registered growers, each contributing beans harvested from an average of 300 trees. These smallholder farmers take great care in tending their coffee plants, ensuring that only the best cherries are delivered to the station.

At the Kibingo station, the coffee undergoes the honey process, a meticulous method that enhances the beans' natural sweetness and complexity. This process involves leaving some of the coffee cherry's mucilage on the beans during drying, which imparts a distinct honey-like sweetness and adds depth to the flavor profile. The station is equipped with 10 fermentation tanks, 2 soaking tanks, and a drying field with 170 raised beds, allowing for careful and precise processing of the coffee.

Flavor Profile

Burundi Kayanza Honey offers a sophisticated and well-balanced flavor experience. The medium roast perfectly complements the beans' natural characteristics, bringing out tasting notes of caramel, jasmine, and orange. The caramel notes provide a smooth and creamy sweetness, while the jasmine adds a delicate floral aroma that elevates the overall sensory experience. The hint of orange introduces a bright, citrusy acidity that rounds out the flavor, making each sip refreshing and satisfying.

Altitude and Quality

Grown at an altitude of 1,893 meters, the coffee cherries develop slowly, allowing the beans to absorb more nutrients and develop a rich, concentrated flavor. The high elevation, coupled with the honey processing method, results in a coffee that is both vibrant and complex, with a nice acidity that enhances its overall profile.
