Sample Coffee Roasters - Burundi Rubirizi, Washed and Natural Red Bourbon
This is an exciting and rare offering on our shelves! A post-roast omni blend, 50% washed process, 50% natural process, same variety and origin.
This lot comes from the Rubirizi Hill just east of Gaharo. The cherries are delivered to Bukeye Washing Station, built in January 2013 by Long Miles Coffee.
The manager of Bukeye, Agathon Ininahazwe, oversees the innovative work the station is running. It is this location that the first Coffee Scout program was started - offering agronomist support to the thousands of producers in the area. It has also been a launching pad for extensive organic pesticide program targeting antestia (the colourful bug that has been linked to the potato defect), post-harvesting pruning, mulching, and fertilising campaigns.
The washing station has 113 committed employees; during the peak of harvest, farmers from Rubirizi bring their cherries to the station, and each person’s contribution is recorded using the Long miles farmer card system. This system ensures that Long Miles can trace the best quality coffee. Coffee collection usually begins in April and is completed by June or July.
