IT ALL STARTS AT THE COFFEE FARM
This harmonious blend of three coffees from Burundi showcases the talent and dedication of many women producers and women in coffee leadership. Women make up 70% of the coffee production workforce, yet often do not receive access to the same resources as male coffee producers such as access to land, capital and education to run their businesses.
What makes Burundian coffee truly special is its meticulous processing, often at centralized washing stations that blend cherries from hundreds of smallholder farmers. This results in exceptionally clean and vibrant cups, renowned for their bright citrus acidity, sweet berry notes, and creamy body. Coffee is a vital lifeline for countless families, shaping the nation's economic and social fabric.

HOW DID WE ROAST THIS COFFEE?
This coffee is being roasted by Ian T. from September 8 to October 2 in Brooklyn. We use the Loring Kestrel roaster for this profile. We have strict guidelines for each of the coffee profiles, and this roast has to pass the development time ratio test as measured in real-time by the roasting software, Cropster. Once it does, it is approved for production.
QUALITY CONTROL
We perform Quality Control via a process of coffee tasting called cupping on all of our production roasts once a week at our roastery in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Each cupping is conducted by Ian T., Anu M., and Suyog M. using standard equipment, and is logged by our Q-certified cupper Ian T. All coffees are evaluated on a scoring scale of 0 to 3.
- 3.0 = exceptional roast - exceeds expectations
- 2.5 = on par with profile - matches expectations
- 2.0 = good roast, but 1 or 2 elements could be improved - needs improvement
- 1.5 or lower = failed - do not ship
PRODUCTION AND SHIPPING
Less than 24 hours after roasting, we bag your coffee in our production facility in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Our production team is led by Torie, and supported by a rotating cast of local artists, musicians and independent professionals.
