Nyagashiha Washing Station

Nyagashiha Washing Station is part of the Akawa Project, a collaboration focused on empowering coffee producers in Burundi through sustainable practices and community support. Located in the country’s southern highlands, the station is managed by Jean-Baptiste and works with 1,172 local farmers who deliver Red Bourbon cherry grown on the region’s steep slopes and cool valleys. Cherries undergo double sorting to enhance clarity and complexity, followed by careful washing and drying on raised beds. The result is a vibrant cup with sparkling acidity and a creamy mouthfeel, offering notes of tangelo, apricot, Earl Grey tea, and brown sugar. Through its partnership with the ECOM Foundation, the station supports a local school where students are learning to grow and care for their own coffee trees, linking classroom learning with hands-on experience.
