Burundi Mutambu Hills

Geroffe and his wife work their farm together, one of many in the Mutambu hills. Geroff was taught by his father to farm coffee. They have 350 coffee trees as well as other food crops. For many years they struggled to have children but have been blessed with two new additions to their family and this year their eldest will be in school. Through farming quality coffee of high value, they have been able to avoid poverty. 

We're sure you'll enjoy this flavourful coffee from Burundi.

Flavour notes

This will depend slightly on the method of brewing, so please refer to our flavour map image for our general flavour description. 

As a pour-over (using a V60 or home filter machine) you’ll taste a complex array of stone fruits like plum and nectarine. That nectarine flavour also brings out a zesty clementine or mandarine flavour, but this is subtle and not a sharp acidity. There is also a rich date and resin flavour. One of the most dominant flavours in the nutty notes of chestnut and Brazil nut. Overall this is a high sweetness coffee with a syrupy body and mouthfeel.

As an espresso, we recommend dosing the shot as much as you can! The high sweetness and body with a rich nutty flavour make a very yummy espresso that blends best with cows milk. We don’t suggest this to be a good match with oat milk or nut milk alternatives the flavours tend to clash.
