Burundi Premium Bourbon – Nyagishiru – Natural Processed

Only 19 Pounds Left! 
A wonderful 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. A chocolate like undertone to balance off the cup. Not much for the traditional African herbal/vegetal spice notes, which many Central or South American coffee fans will love, but will come off as a 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

Nyagishiru Coffee Washing Station, located near Buhinyuza in the Muyinga region, features 200 raised drying beds, a Mackinnon pulper, and a considerable suite of tanks for fermentation and processing. Around 850 coffee producing families on the surrounding 12 hills contribute cherry; Matraco, the producer of this coffee and owner of the washing station, also has a small plot of its own trees on the same hill as station itself.

Farmers delivering cherry to Nyagishiru receive a 20% premium above the local market rate, while staff enjoys wages nearly 60% higher than the Burundi average. This commitment extends across Matraco’s portfolio, which includes two more washing stations in Northern Burundi. Matraco also supports local farmers by distributing composted coffee pulp as fertilizer and donating seedlings.

Matraco’s coffee journey began with a truck. Founder Zuberi Matsitsi got his start transporting coffee in trailer trucks, eventually amassing a fleet of over 10 trucks. In 2015, Matraco expanded into coffee production. Today, Matraco continues to transport coffee in their own trucks, ensuring close quality oversight in an area where transportation remains something of a challenge.

Tasting Notes: A wonderful 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. A chocolate like undertone to balance off the cup. Not much for the traditional African herbal/vegetal spice notes, which many Central or South American coffee fans will love, but will come off as a 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.
