City to City+

The Bwayi packs a lot of punch with delightfully complex stone fruit, citrus, floral and delicate spice aromas and flavours.

Roaster’s Tip: The full potential of the Bwayi is exhibited at lighter city roasts. Keep it light and experience Bwayi heaven!

In the spring of 2010 Josh, one of our trainers and competitive baristas, travelled to Burundi and visited the Nemba and Buziraguhindwa washing stations and was impressed by the care and detail with which the coffees were processed. Our founder Poul visited again in the summer of 2011 and was immediately taken with the country and its people.

Burundi is often referred to as “The Heart of Africa”, and rightly so. The people of Burundi have an amazing spirit, and have fully embraced their raw talent for growing and harvesting coffee, The Republic of Burundi has been independent since July 1st 1962, and is a small landlocked country just under 28,000 square kilometers. There is a population of just about 8 million people, 50% of which are under the age of 14. 90% of the population relies on farming as their main source of income, and coffee is by far the largest export. Being on the ground, we have seen first hand the huge steps forward the people of Burundi have taken to rebuild their country following their nearly 12 year civil war that ended in 2005. Coffee farming and production has quite literally saved many of their lives.
