Many Hands, Beautiful Hills Burundi Twelve Coffee Tasting Set

Founded by Ben and Kristy Carlson in 2013, the Long Miles Coffee Project serves as an inspiring point of connection between rural Burundian coffee farmers and the international specialty coffee market. This wet processed lot, composed of coffee harvested by smallholder farmers on Mutana Hill, was pulped, fermented, washed and dried at the Heza washing station, and carefully preserved in frozen storage since its arrival at Passenger’s roastery.

The Many Hands, Beautiful Hills Burundi Twelve Coffee Tasting Set, roasted by Passenger Coffee, offers a focused exploration of the Mutana Hill region. Sourced through the Long Miles Coffee Project, these selections highlight the specific terroir of this Burundian landscape. As a washed coffee, the profile emphasizes clarity and acidity, allowing the inherent characteristics of the region to remain at the forefront of the cup.

When evaluating such a diverse set, it is helpful to reference a flavor wheel to identify the nuanced distinctions between each lot. While washed coffees are generally celebrated for their clean, bright profiles and consistent expression of origin, the specific conditions of Mutana Hill provide a unique backdrop for this collection. By experiencing these twelve distinct offerings side-by-side, one gains a deeper understanding of how meticulous processing and regional geography shape the final sensory experience in the cup.
