Burundi , Kayanza, Twaranyzwe

This coffee comes from the Kayanza Commune in the Kayanza Province of Burundi. It is produced by the Twaranyuzwe Coop - a group formed in 2012 by 343 small farmers that have operated and maintained their own washing station since 2015. Founded in 2010, IntCafe Burundi oversees Burundi’s coffee sector. They’re tasked with farm-to-farmket traceability, quality control, international partnering, and more to ensure the best quality coffee is produced. This lot is 100% Red Bourbon that is fully washed, sun dried on raised beds, and dry milled in the nearby province of Ngozi.

Haiti Savanne Zombie Central Plateau: aka “Zombie Bean

Haitian Zombie was roasted and sent in by our trader and scored 92 in Coffee Review! This Haitian Coffee is grown in a town called Zombie Desert, and it has one of the only model farms in the area. This cooperative, being smaller in size, is able to produce 600 bags of coffee and pay growers significant prices for their coffee cherries.

The cooperative is paid roughly 300% higher wages than the Fair Trade minimum, not out of charity, but for having an exceptional product. It is grown by a Coop in the Central Plateau region consisting of 75 farmers where the average size of a farm is 1 hectare.

Cupping notes: Honey sweetness, ginger. Clean smooth body. Low in acidity, and sweet undertones. Floral aromas.
