You’ve probably encountered coffee produced using the Burundi Washed process. We pondered: why not bring you a coffee processed this way directly from its place of origin? Floral, tea-like, and brimming with delicious citric acidity, this Red Bourbon from the Muyinga province in Burundi perfectly encapsulates the exotic flavor profile of Africa.

Coffee is pivotal to Burundi’s economy and serves as a significant source of income for families, supporting education and providing access to cash for housing construction. Kiryama derives from the verb “Kuryama,” meaning “to sleep” in Kirundi. Royal princes used to rest on this hill, finding respite before engaging in their customary activities in the region. They favored this hill, influencing Catholic missionaries to establish a parish where Italian priests resided for more than 20 years.

Floral, tea-like coffee brimming with citric acidity. Subtle hints of rosehip in the aroma, followed by a syrupy texture. A prominent note of black tea with undertones of grapefruit leading to a crisp and clean finish.

This coffee was produced using the washed method by tib Coffee (This Is Burundi) in the Muyinga province in northern Burundi, a stunning hilly region with an average altitude of 1500 – 1700 MASL. Around 2000 farmers, with farms spanning 50 hectares, collaborate with the washing station.

The washed coffee process in Burundi starts with handpicking ripe coffee cherries. These cherries are then pulped to remove the outer skin and put into fermentation tanks filled with water for 24 to 48 hours, allowing enzymes to break down the mucilage. After fermentation, the beans are thoroughly washed and dried on raised beds under the sun, turned regularly for even drying. Once dried, the beans are hulled to remove the parchment layer, sorted, and graded based on quality. This meticulous process produces coffee with bright acidity, clean flavors, and complex profiles, highly prized in the specialty coffee market.

About the farm

TIB Coffee grows their coffee in the Muyinga province of northern Burundi, a picturesque hilly region with an average altitude of 1500-1600 meters, near the Ruvubu National Park and traversed by the Nile River.

They collaborate with nearly 2000 farmers who cultivate over 50 hectares of land. Their production includes fully washed, natural, and honey-processed Arabica coffees. At TIB Coffee, the goal is to offer customers the finest coffee Burundi has to offer, while simultaneously fostering a positive impact on the local community.

Established in June 2020, TIB Coffee embarked on an ambitious journey. They acquired land to construct their first washing station at Karambo Hill in Muyinga, which commenced operations in the 2021 coffee season.

TIB Coffee plans to purchase a small dry mill and establish two new washing stations in different regions of Burundi over the next three years. This expansion will enable them to provide customers with a broader variety of Burundian coffees and unique taste profiles.

Their strong partnerships with leading specialty coffee roasters and importers worldwide have positioned them for growth. They aim to double their specialty coffee exports, increasing from 640 bags to 1,280 bags.
