Burundi - Kibingo
Kayanza · Altitude: 1,700–1,900 m
Varietal: Red Bourbon
Process: Fully washed
Cupping notes: Floral and fruit-driven with clean sweetness
Flavour: Honey, stone fruit, cacao
Description
This fully washed Red Bourbon comes from Kibingo washing station in Kayanza, northern Burundi. The station sits at almost 1,900 meters above sea level and receives coffee from 1,739 smallholder farmers cultivating the surrounding hills.
The cherries are selectively handpicked, floated, sorted, pulped, fermented, washed, and graded before drying on raised beds. This carefully washed process creates a clean and structured cup, highlighting the floral and fruit-driven character Burundi is known for.
In the cup, Kibingo shows honeyed sweetness, soft stone fruit, and a cacao-like depth, with a balanced acidity and smooth, composed finish. It is elegant rather than loud, making it a strong choice for both filter brewing and a lighter, more nuanced espresso.
This coffee is also IMPACT Verified, with purchases supporting a livestock initiative that helps coffee-farming families in Burundi build more stable incomes over time
