Story
More than 3,000 smallholder farmers deliver coffee to the Masha Washing Station in Kayanza, Burundi, where the average producer cultivates just a few hundred coffee trees on small family farms. Despite years of political instability and economic hardship, these farmers continue to rely on coffee as a vital source of income. In recent years, Burundi’s growing focus on quality-driven coffee production has helped highlight the extraordinary potential of the region.
This coffee is part of Masha’s microlot program, where exceptional lots are selected for their standout aroma, acidity, sweetness, and body. The result is a vibrant and expressive Burundi coffee that captures everything we love about the region’s profile: bright, clean, and layered with complexity.
In the cup, expect lively notes of guava, cantaloupe, caramel cinnamon roll, orange zest, and green peppercorn. The profile is zesty, floral, and lightly hoppy, combining the plush fruit character of a classic Kenya coffee with the citrus florals of Ethiopia and the fresh herbal sweetness often found in Rwanda coffees. It’s a deeply nuanced yet incredibly approachable cup.
