Burundi Premium Bourbon – Migoti Hill – Natural Processed

A stellar example of a fruity natural! Lighter roasts are where this cup will shine. Hints of lemony floral acidity comingle with tropical edged red fruit tones, what a combination! A chocolate like undertone to balance off the cup. Not much for the traditional African herbal/vegetal spice note which many Central or South American coffee fans will love, but may come off as a more delicate cup to African fans. Medium roasts get much more chocolaty and smooth, retains the red fruit tone nicely. Darker roasts pick up some stronger roasty tones, compliments the more chocolaty aspects of the cup, especially as it cools, the fruitiness will jump right out even at darker roast points.

Description

This natural-processed lot comes from smallholder farmers located on Migoti Hill, near Migoti Washing Station.

Pontien Ntunzwenimana is majority owner of the Migoti Washing Station in Mutambu, Burundi and was born and lived through his childhood in Mutambu. The multi-generational coffee farmers in Pontien’s home community had all but abandoned coffee as a source of income due to the 12-year civil war (1993-2005) when their Arabica coffee trees were neglected and destroyed.

With peace in the country and a state-of-the-art coffee washing station that Pontien built in 2016, the local community has new-found hope for the future, and farmers are again investing in their coffee farms. Pontien’s six years of green coffee production in Mutambu (2016-2022) have proven the local coffee to be some of the best in Burundi. Migoti Coffee’s vision is to see the local coffee-growing community grow in health and economic prosperity, with quality coffee production as one of several entrepreneurial activities underway.

Tasting Notes: A stellar example of a fruity natural! Lighter roasts are where this cup will shine. Hints of lemony floral acidity comingle with tropical edged red fruit tones, what a combination! A chocolate like undertone to balance off the cup. Not much for the traditional African herbal/vegetal spice note which many Central or South American coffee fans will love, but may come off as a more delicate cup to African fans. Medium roasts get much more chocolaty and smooth, retains the red fruit tone nicely. Darker roasts pick up some stronger roasty tones, compliments the more chocolaty aspects of the cup, especially as it cools, the fruitiness will jump right out even at darker roast points.

Roasting Notes: Even roasting for a fruity natural but does have some decent chaff on the beans. A slight reduction in batch size will help keep it an easy to roast coffee. Clean cup from light to dark, a fun bean to try different roast levels with.
