BURUNDI TURIHAMWE

Kirundi for "together,” Turihamwe is produced by seven women coffee farmers who pooled their earnings to build Burundi's first women-owned washing station in 2019. By controlling production and quality at this stage, they've unlocked a cup prized for its bright, sweet, citrusy character. More than sixty percent of the contributing farmers of this lot are women, reflecting their commitment to support women in coffee production.

The Burundi Turihamwe represents a distinct offering from Andytown Coffee, showcasing the vibrant profile characteristic of beans sourced from Burundi. Coffees from this region are frequently celebrated for their lively acidity and complex sweetness, qualities that often translate into the bright, citrusy, and sweet notes identified by the roaster in this specific lot.

When evaluating such profiles, enthusiasts often consult a flavor wheel to better articulate the nuances of these bright and sweet characteristics. While general expectations for the region often lean toward clean, crisp cup profiles, the specific experience of this coffee is defined by the careful roasting approach applied by Andytown. By focusing on these inherent qualities, the roaster highlights the clarity and balance that make this Burundi selection a compelling example of the country's diverse coffee landscape.
