Businde

Kayanza is an administrative region in northern Burundi that borders Rwanda. It is the main coffee growing region in the country, and is known for its mild weather all year round.

This coffee is sourced from 650 farming families around the Businde Washing Station in Kayanza. As a washing station, it is important to consider the payment of workers who process the cherry, as well as the price received by those who cultivated them. Businde’s producers have received a premium 20% above the local market rate this season. It also pays its staff almost 60% above the rate for casual labour in Burundi.

The resulting cup reminds us of apricot, brown sugar & lemonade.
