Context

Sourced from the Kayanza region of Burundi, Bumba Hill Lot 1 represents a focused expression of the Bourbon varietal. This specific harvest is managed by the Long Miles Project and undergoes a washed process, a method typically employed to highlight the inherent clarity and acidity of the bean. Roasted by The Barn, this coffee is characterized by a distinct tangerine profile.

While washed coffees are often celebrated for their clean, vibrant acidity, the specific terroir of Kayanza frequently contributes to the nuanced profiles found in this region. When evaluating such bright, citrus-forward coffees, it can be helpful to reference a flavor wheel to better identify the subtle complexities present in the cup. As a classic example of high-quality Bourbon, Bumba Hill Lot 1 offers a clear look at the impact of meticulous processing on the final sensory experience.
