Enjoy a bright and clean cup from Jarama Burundi, with tasting notes of grape and vanilla this is a washed African coffee lovers dream.
This lot comes from the Jarama Washing Station, belonging to SACOBU, a local cherry miller organization in Burundi, run by three brothers. The name for the organization comes from a merging of the words ‘Specialty Arabica Coffee Burundi.’ They have eleven washing stations throughout the country, mostly in the East.
Producers will harvest their cherries when ripe and bring them to the Jarama Washing Station. The cherries are submerged in tanks of water to remove the lower quality floaters. Once sorted, the cherries are depulped, to remove the external fruit attached to the bean. Afterwards, the coffee is washed to remove any remaining mucilage and debris. Next, the coffee is then evenly dispersed on raised beds and dried in the open sun until the ideal moisture content is reached.
