Burundi Bumba #16
Origin: Kayanza, Burundi
Process: Anaerobic Natural
Tasting Notes: Passionfruit, Red Grape, Dark Chocolate
Burundi's Kayanza region sits high in the country's northern hills, where volcanic soil and cool nights slow cherry maturation and build density in the bean. Bumba #16 comes from this terroir, prepared using an anaerobic natural process — cherries ferment in oxygen-restricted tanks before drying with the fruit intact, coaxing out a fruit-forward, wine-like intensity.
In the cup, expect a striking passionfruit lead, red grape sweetness through the middle, and a dark chocolate finish that grounds the whole thing.
We roast this one light to preserve the fermentation character. Ideal for pour-over or as a distinctive espresso.
