Butegana, Intenso Yeast Natural

Summary

This coffee comes from the Kayanza highlands of Burundi, sourced from the historic Butegana Washing Station (established 1952). The cherries are grown by 841 smallholder farmers who cultivate Red Bourbon trees around their homes. The coffee undergoes an Intenso yeast-inoculated dry natural process, which enhances fruit intensity while maintaining clarity. Slow drying on raised beds builds depth and sweetness. The flavour profile features bright cherry upfront, cola-like fizz through the middle, and a lingering finish of berry molasses. Every purchase supports farming families connected to the Butegana Washing Station.
