BURUNDI - BUTEGANA CIMA | espresso

€15,00

Pickup available at Gust Coffee Roasters

Usually ready in 24 hours

Blueberry, marmelade, juicy, bright and full of character.

A refined and vibrant cup that still feels rooted in the Burundi tradition, but with a little something extra. In the cup, expect lots of red berries, supported by a bright acidity and smoothness of marmelade, raisins and maple syrup. It’s sweet, bright, and just a little wild, in the best way.

ORIGIN: Burundi
PRODUCER: Butegana Washing Station
REGION: Kayanza
GROWING ALTITUDE: 1612 m
VARIETAL: Red Bourbon
PROCESS: Yeast Inoculated (Cima) Natural
ROAST PROFILE: Medium (espresso roast)

We’re thrilled to welcome this expressive new lot from Butegana Washing Station, the very first washing station built in Burundi back in 1952. Perched in the northern region of Kayanza, Butegana has long been a hub for quality and innovation, and this coffee is no exception.

What makes this one special? A carefully designed yeast fermentation process that takes the classic Burundi profile and dials up the fruit.

After harvesting and sorting, the coffee cherries are pulped and placed in epoxy-coated, concrete fermentation tanks. Here, CIMA yeast is introduced, strain developed specifically for coffee fermentation. The seeds ferment in a controlled environment, protected from spoilage organises that could cause off-flavors.

The CIMA yeast does more than just keep things clean, it actively brings out fresh, fruity characteristics while preserving the unique identity of the coffee’s varietal.
