This is a fully washed processed microlot from a single processing station in Butanyerera province, close to Burundi’s border with Rwanda. It’s herbal with a plum-like acidity and bittersweet cocoa. Butanyerera is a large, newly formed mountainous highland region in northern Burundi. The province borders Rwanda to the north and Ngozi, another significant coffee producing area, to the east. Kayanza, one of the “communes” of the province (and formerly its own province as well) is deeply associated with Burundi’s specialty coffee market and history. Previous to this current generation of hyper-regional private processors and exporters, the country’s coffee value chain was managed by a few large government-owned corporations, known as Sociétés de Gestion des Stations de Lavage (SOGESTAL, literally, “Washing Station Management Companies”).
