Burundi Medium-Light Roast

Microlot

Burundi microlots are selected out of the daylots created by various

centralized washing stations, basis cup quality. Because the average farmer

in Burundi owns 1/8–1/4 a hectare of land, many smallholder farmers will

deliver their fresh cherry to a washing station in order to be sorted and

processed; microlots, then, are blended lots comprising coffees from many

producers that express exquisite coffee, but are not generally traceable to

the individual producers.

Masha

Masha washing station in Kayanza Burundi accepts coffee from over 3200

local farmers. Each producer has only 297 trees on average on roughly .11

hectares of land. These small-holder farmers are reliant upon coffee for their

livelihood.

Harvest here is typically April through June, but coffee's have a long journey

to export from this landlocked country. Coffee is processed at the BUDECA, SIVCA dry mill prior to export.
