What Motobean Roasters say
Clean, bright and beautifully expressive — this is Burundi filter coffee at its most elegant.
This washed Bourbon lot from Ruvumu Hill in Kayanza is crafted specifically for specialty single origin filter coffee, showcasing clarity, sweetness and refined acidity. Roasted in Ravenhall, West Melbourne, this light filter profile highlights citrus, florals and a silky, tea‑like structure.
A Story of Transformation: The Spirit of Ruvumu Hill
This coffee carries a story as meaningful as its flavour. Grown on Ruvumu Hill and processed at the cutting‑edge Umuco washing station, this lot is part of the remarkable work of Migoti Coffee Company, founded by engineers Dan and Pontien.
Their mission is reshaping Burundi’s coffee landscape by:
- improving processing quality
- increasing farm productivity
- ensuring transparent, fair pricing
- supporting more than 1,700 farmers
- creating sustainable income in a region deeply affected by poverty
Every cup of this coffee supports a community‑driven transformation built on quality and hope.
Tasting: Brown Sugar, Caramel, Orange Blossom and Rose Water.
Expect a clean, vibrant and structured cup with:
- citrus brightness
- floral aromatics
- red fruit sweetness
- tea‑like clarity
- smooth, refreshing finish
Perfect for V60, Kalita, batch brew and Aeropress.
Precision Processing: The Washed Bourbon Standard
This lot is processed with meticulous care to highlight purity and clarity.
High‑Altitude Bourbon (1900–2200 MASL)
Slow cherry maturation at extreme elevations increases density and flavour complexity.
12–24 Hour Fermentation
After depulping, the cherries undergo controlled fermentation to unlock floral aromatics and refined acidity.
Sun‑Drying on Raised Beds
The parchment dries for 2–3 weeks until it reaches the ideal 11–12% moisture content, ensuring stability and longevity.
Quality Assurance
Every lot is cupped multiple times to ensure only the finest, defect‑free beans reach your filter brewer.
