Burundi Izuba Bourbon - 500g

Wonderful coffee from the smallholder farmers in the Kayanza Province of Burundi. This Izuba lot has a honey sweetness with a good, full body and notes of raisin and milk chocolate. 

The densely populated east African state of Burundi borders Rwanda, Congo, Tanzania and lake Tanganyika. It is mountainous land with high plateau and a tropical climate. The economy is predominantly agricultural with roughly 90% of the population dependent on subsistence agriculture. Economic growth depends on coffee and tea exports, which account for 90% of foreign exchange earnings. 

Following 15 years of conflict, a recent peace accord has ended the internal conflict and the economy is recovering already. Recent liberalisation of the coffee sector is allowing access to some excellent traceable fully washed arabicas.

Immerse yourself in the vibrant flavours of Burundi with Izuba Coffee, a truly exceptional washed coffee sourced from the high-altitude hills of Kayanza Province. Cultivated by over 1,400 dedicated farmers, Izuba Coffee embodies the heart and soul of Burundi's rich coffee heritage.

Here, the unique microclimate and volcanic soil create the perfect conditions for growing exquisite Red Bourbon coffee cherries.

Each cherry is handpicked at peak ripeness and meticulously processed using the washed method. This meticulous approach ensures a clean, bright flavor profile that showcases the natural sweetness and complexity of the beans.
