Burundi Nyagashiha Akawa Project
From: $18.50
This coffee comes from the Nyagashiha mill, one of 13 mills in the Akawa Project. Created to help producers break the cycle of poverty in a sustainable and equitable way, the Nyagashiha Washing Station, led by Jean-Baptiste, supports 1,172 local farmers in their collective effort to produce high-quality coffee.
The region’s temperate climate and steep valleys provide ideal coffee growing conditions. Jean-Baptiste emphasises double sorting to improve quality, depth and complexity, and the cherries are washed and dried on traditional raised beds, with frequent raking to ensure consistent drying.
This coffee presents flavour notes of riesling, mandarin, and dark chocolate, with a sparkling acidity. This is an outstanding cup that reflects the dedication and spirit of the community behind it.
