What Five Senses Coffee say
Cherry, cola fizz & berry molasses.
---
From Burundi's Kayanza highlands, this vibrant lot comes from the historic Butegana Washing Station, one of the country's earliest, built in 1952. Cherries are grown by 841 smallholder farmers, most tending just a few hundred Red Bourbon trees around their homes. Harvested ripe and carefully sorted, the coffee undergoes an Intenso yeast-inoculated dry natural process, encouraging clarity while amplifying fruit intensity. Slow drying on raised beds builds depth and sweetness, resulting in a cup that's lively yet grounded. Expect bright cherry upfront, cola-like fizz through the middle, and a lingering finish of berry molasses. A bold, expressive coffee that showcases both innovation and tradition in Burundi, with every purchase supporting farming families connected to the Butegana Washing Station.
