Heza

Sourced through our importing partner Osito, we have been working for 7 years now with the Long Miles Coffee Project—an organization that places transparency and smallholder support at the very core of its Burundian mission. Heza, which translates to "beautiful place" in Kirundi, truly lives up to its name. Accessible only via winding mountain pathways and small, hand-built wooden bridges, this washing station perched at 1,960 MASL feels much more like an adventure than a standard visit. Isolated deep within the hills, it is surrounded by a tight-knit community of coffee farmers who enjoy sweeping, panoramic views of an ever-shifting East African sky.

Pour over
Nice to taste Burundi beans, but flattens out after the first taste. A very good washed cup though.

A light roast with a surprising punch of flavour. I would happily buy this one. I used the pour over method.

French press
Very definitely smooth and great tasting, no bitter aftertaste. A good coffee with or without milk. I would absolutely buy this one again.

Tried it as an espresso this morning! Loved it, no bitterness. More fruit came through
