Every year we're impressed by Burundi's coffees. This is our sixth year buying coffee from Gahahe, a washing station in the heart of Kayanza Province serving over 1,700 farmers.

This lot is an excellent rendering of flavors we've come to love in East Africa. Look for a warm and complex cup with immaculate clarity and layered sweetness—we taste cranberry, golden raisin, dried fig, honey, brown sugar, orange peel, and lovely, subtle florals.

Coffee Specs

As a visitor to Gahahe, you'd be lucky to land in the city of Bujumbura in the hours just before sundown. The international airport lies in a sunbaked plain along the northern shore of Lake Tanganyika—from there, it's maybe two hours by car to Kayanza, where some of the country's best coffees are grown. In the rearview you'll see glimpses of the city, the lake, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo in the distance; on the dim roadside, frequent tiny junctions alive with commotion; and on the horizon, innumerable stars and galaxies. The reward is then to arrive at Gahahe, your surroundings pitchblack save for taillights carrying the last of the day's coffee deliveries. The washing station is just off the road, and seeing it at night is something magical...

Excellent coffee
Partners always makes excellent coffee but I like this one in particular. I’m partial to light roasts use either a coffee siphon or pour over. This is a true light roast coffee with complex tasting notes and is rhetorical perfect morning coffee for me.

Bright and Juicy
The sunshine yellow theme of the bag perfectly matches the flavor. Coffee pros may scoff, but so far every method I've tried- cold brew, pour over, espresso - has yielded a sweet, sunshiny, just on the verge of tart but majority sweet syrupy brew. I prefer these flavors for the warmer months of the year and Burundi does not disappoint.
