Burundi - Mutambu Hill - Washed

Bright, sweet, and bursting with character! This washed coffee opens with a vibrant citrus acidity of tangerine, balanced by  juicy bramble brightness and a smooth, lingering cane sugar finish.

Grown in the stunning high-altitude region of Rural Bujumbura, this Red Bourbon is cultivated by 384 smallholder family farms on tiny plots of nutrient-rich volcanic soil. The cool mountain climate slows down cherry ripening, allowing rich sugars to slowly develop to give this cup its signature intense sweetness.

Named after a local indigenous tree, the Migoti washing station acts as a vital community hub, partnering directly with these local producers alongside our importing partner, Omwani, to guarantee direct premium pricing and showcase the incredible potential of Burundian specialty coffee.

Sourced from the Rural Bujumbura region of Burundi, this lot from Dear Green Coffee highlights the distinct character of the Red Bourbon varietal. Cultivated on Mutambu Hill, the coffee undergoes a washed process, a method typically employed to emphasize a clean cup profile and highlight the inherent acidity of the bean.

In the cup, this selection presents notes of tangerine, bramble, and cane sugar. While flavor perception is subjective and can be mapped using a flavor wheel, washed coffees from this region are often noted for their bright, citrus-forward clarity. By focusing on the specific terroir of Rural Bujumbura and the traditional preparation of the Red Bourbon plant, this offering provides a clear expression of the landscape. It serves as a refined example of how regional processing techniques influence the final sensory experience for the drinker.
