Tasting NotesTasting notesThe flavors a roaster perceives in the cup — 'jasmine, apricot, black tea'. Descriptive associations, not ingredients: nothing is added to the coffee.: Tropical, pineapple, & berries Province: Muyinga Varietal: Red BourbonBourbonOne of the two foundational arabica varieties (with Typica), named after Île Bourbon (Réunion). Sweet, balanced, caramel-leaning; parent of countless modern cultivars. Process: NaturalNatural processThe whole cherry is dried with the fruit still on the seed. Gives heavier body and big fruit flavors — think berries and wine — sometimes with a fermenty edge. Recipes: Espresso: 1:2.5 | Filter: 1:17 About: We are excited to showcase some really exciting coffees from Burundi this year. And this coffee is no exception. This coffee is made up of over 1800 farms, it is a coffee produced at the joyful Ngogomo Washing StationWashing stationA central mill where many smallholder farmers deliver cherry for processing. In Ethiopia, Kenya, and Rwanda the station name (e.g. Idido) often identifies the coffee.. There's a song that the workers at Ngogomo washing station sing. It tells the story of the washing station manager, Chief Windora; a charismatic, but stern man, who didn't suffer fools gladly. It tells the story of the chief falling in love, how he softened, and became kinder. If you ever visit Ngogomo, you'll hear all of the workers singing, “Chief Windora EEEEEHHHH” loud and clear. Roasting days: Proud Mary roast Monday-Friday during normal business hours. To ensure freshness of coffee, best to order early in the week as postal services and couriers do not operate on weekends. Orders: placed by 8.30am PST will be roasted and dispatched the same day. If you are ordering on a Friday, and order after 8.30am then your coffee will be roasted the following business day - Monday.
