Coffee Specs

As a visitor to Gahahe, you'd be lucky to land in the city of Bujumbura in the hours just before sundown. The international airport lies in a sunbaked plain along the northern shore of Lake Tanganyika—from there, it's maybe two hours by car to Kayanza, where some of the country's best coffees are grown. In the rearview you'll see glimpses of the city, the lake, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo in the distance; on the dim roadside, frequent tiny junctions alive with commotion; and on the horizon, innumerable stars and galaxies. The reward is then to arrive at Gahahe, your surroundings pitchblack save for taillights carrying the last of the day's coffee deliveries. The washing station is just off the road, and seeing it at night is something magical...

    Super smooth single origin

    I only brew espresso, so I’m not usually a big fan of single origin because I find them a little too fruity until I tried this one. Medium light roast. Smooth yet complex flavor.

    Super coffee from Burundi

    Nit very good at describing coffee textures.

    Being from Africa , I liked the smell of this coffee.

    The aroma when preparing this coffee brought out a noticeable smell . Really liked this Burundi coffee.

    Would like to see your Buyer introduce us to further coffees from Africa - particularly if you can from other East African countries ( Kenya , Uganda and Tanzania ).

    Any time, any temperature

    I have prepared Burundi in a French press, as a pour over, and cold brewed. It is a smooth and delicious coffee every time.
