Burundi
Gahahe
A stellar washed coffee from East Africa
Description
Our second and final Burundian coffee of the season comes from Gahahe, a fantastic washing station in the red clay hills of Kayanza Province serving over 1,700 nearby farmers.
This fully washed lot is an excellent rendering of flavors we've come to love in East Africa. Look for a warm and complex cup with immaculate clarity and layered sweetness - we taste cranberry, golden raisin, dried fig, honey, brown sugar, orange peel, and lovely, subtle florals.

I am especially fond of this station. Coffees from Kayanza are incredible, well-balanced and brimming with red and golden fruit notes.

This washed Bourbon coffee is excellent. The roast level appears medium to my eye. It has a beautiful aroma and you can taste more flavor notes and its natural sweetness as it cools. The last sip is the best. I make it with purified water and drink it black as night. The people in my household will riot if I don't make them pour overs in the mornings. Sharing my custom pour over recipe for this specific coffee. I also attached a short video and photo of the morning magic it produced. Adjust to meet your taste preferences. Enjoy!
