Shikankoni

Milled at the first specialty dry mill in Burundi, offering quality and precision in small, traceable lots: stone fruit & refreshing acidity.

Sourced from the high-altitude landscapes of Burundi, the Shikankoni lot represents a focused selection from Obadiah Coffee. Coffees from this region are frequently celebrated for their vibrant, clean profiles and distinct brightness, which often translate into the refreshing acidity noted in this specific offering. When evaluating such profiles, tasters often look for the nuanced sweetness of stone fruit, a common descriptor found within the flavor wheel that helps categorize the complex sugars developed during the roasting process.

While every harvest carries the unique signature of its specific micro-climate and processing method, this coffee highlights the meticulous approach taken by the roaster to preserve the inherent character of the bean. By balancing the bright, crisp acidity with the deeper, rounded notes of stone fruit, this selection offers a clear window into the potential of its origin, inviting drinkers to explore the intersection of terroir and careful craft.
