Burundi Gasura

The "Best of Both Worlds" Brew

If you can’t decide between a coffee that is fruity and bright or one that is rich and chocolatey, this is the bag for you. Burundi Gasura is a masterclass in balance—it has enough "zing" to wake up your palate, but it finishes with a smooth, sweet comfort that keeps you coming back for another sip.

What it tastes like: A refreshing combination of zesty lime and black tea that transitions into a cozy, lingering finish of dark chocolate and sweet raisins. It’s silky, smooth, and incredibly clean.

Why we like it: It’s an ethical gem. This coffee comes from the "Terimbere" cooperative, which focuses on empowering women in coffee production. We love it because it’s a "polite" coffee—it’s full of flavor but never overwhelming, making it a perfect introduction to East African origins.

Best way to drink it: We roast this one light and quick to keep it vibrant. It is a dream when brewed as a Filter coffee or used for a crisp, tea-like Cold Brew.

This washed coffee from the Gasura region of Burundi is sourced from the Terimbere cooperative and roasted by Goat Story. The washed process emphasizes clarity in the cup, allowing the coffee's inherent character to shine through. Goat Story identifies zesty lime and black tea notes alongside darker chocolate and sweet raisin undertones—a profile that bridges bright acidity with deeper sweetness.

Coffees from Burundi's Gasura region often display this complexity, layering vibrant citrus impressions with more substantial body. The interplay between the lime and raisin notes suggests both fruit-forward brightness and developed sweetness.
