BURUNDI - RUVUMU, KAYANZA #3

$67.50/5lb Bag

$13.50/lb or $0.54/Brewed Cup

This coffee from Ruvumu hill sits right alongside Burundi’s national rainforest, which has an incredible impact on the climate that these coffee trees grow and mature in. At the station level, where the surrounding farmers deliver their coffee cherry, this lot is Fully Washed, undergoing a double fermentation washing process. Fermented for 12+ hours dry and then again for 12+ more hours wet, the result is a super clean and crisp cup.

Burundi coffees are near and dear to us at Liaise. Burundi is where our founder got his start in the farming, processing and exporting world of coffee at the origin level starting back in 2014, while living and working for a coffee producing company there. Since then, Jake has spent the past several years buying Burundi coffees for different companies and importing them to create a market for these farmers to sell them to roasters.  And now, to roast and supply them from Liaise is a special return, back to where it all began.
