Izuba Mugoyi Burundi

One of our favourite origins here in the roastery. Producers in Burundi, much like other African coffee growing countries, bring their freshly picked coffee to local mills for processing, keeping the quality consistent. A clean, aromatic coffee usually punctuated with rich berry notes.

Don’t let the somewhat simple flavour descriptors of this lot fool you, this coffee is jam packed with dark berry-like fruits, which come alive as the coffee cools. The green apple acidity is just enough to brighten the cup, creating a well balanced and moreish profile that leaves you wanting more and more.

Coffees from the Izuba washing station consistently receive higher scores and therefore fetch a higher price, with producers from this station being paid 25% more than neighbouring stations and 33% more than the national average. This is thanks to the hard work of Matraco Coffee, Raw Materials partner in Burundi, driving better processing protocols and attention to detail, all resulting in better tasting coffees and more value to producers.

We aim to support as many community-driven projects via the purchase of coffee as we possibly can, as well as initiating our own community projects in the countries we work with.
