From DAK
We haven't had a coffee from Burundi in a very long time and we are glad to have this one as a comeback! This honey process from Mikuba Washing Station is super clean and bright with tasting notes of orange cake, citrus and macadaemia.
A trip to Mikuba is something to look forward to. The hill is flanked by the Ruvubu, a river known for its deep waters. Mikuba is a stone’s throw away from Heza Washing Station, but stretches out, far and wide. Some farmers walk only a couple of meters to deliver their cherries to the washing station; others have to walk more than 5km to reach it. The hill is usually covered in bright blue and yellow flowers that line its narrow dirt walking paths. Forests of acacia trees also cover the landscape. Patches of tomatoes, sweet potato, cabbage, cassava and peas lined by the tall stalks of wheat and maize wrap the hill in every imaginable shade of gold and green. Canopies of banana trees are planted alongside coffee, creating a cooler environment for the coffee to grow in.
