The Burundi Gitwe Micro Lot 3, sourced by Olympia Coffee Roasting, represents the meticulous work of the Long Miles Coffee team in the Gitwe region. This specific selection undergoes a washed process, a method often utilized to highlight the inherent clarity and acidity of high-quality beans. By removing the fruit flesh before drying, producers can emphasize the crisp, clean characteristics of the coffee cherry.

In the cup, this lot presents a profile defined by apricot, citrus, honey, and stone fruit, complemented by delicate florals. When evaluating such nuanced flavors, referencing a flavor wheel can be a helpful tool for identifying these subtle aromatic compounds. While washed coffees are frequently celebrated for their bright, tea-like elegance and refined structure, the specific terroir of Gitwe contributes a distinct character to this offering, showcasing the dedication of the producers to quality and precision in every harvest.
