Burundi Kibingo - Honey Red Bourbon - Wholesale

We Taste - Caramel, papaya, brown sugar

Grown in the superlative terroir of Kayanza Province in northern Burundi, Kibingo Washing Station collects ripely picked Red Bourbon coffee cherry from 3,500 small-holder farmers, who tend garden-sized plots around their homes. At the award-winning mill, the cherries are pulped, then laid out on raised drying beds while still in their sticky sweet mucilage. Attentive turning ensures even drying throughout their Honey process, coaxing out tropical aromatics with sweetness to spare. While still a fairly bright coffee due to its high elevation and cool nights, our light-medium roasting catalyzes substantial sweetness into flavors like caramel and brown sugar, bringing balance to the cup and making Kibingo ideal across brew methods.
