Product description
Producer and region
The coffee is processed at the Yandaro washing station in Kayanza Province, Burundi, close to the Rwandan border. Greenco Coffee runs the station and works with 2,341 smallholder producers spread across 22 hills in the region. Each farmer manages an average of 250 coffee plants.
The farms sit at an average altitude of 1,800 meters. That cool, humid climate slows down the ripening of the coffee cherries and adds to the clarity and complexity in the cup.
Harvest and processing method
All coffee cherries are selectively handpicked. Within six hours of harvest, the outer pulp is removed with a disc pulper. Then the honey process begins: the mucilage stays on the bean during drying. That layer is rich in sugar and gives the coffee a pronounced, natural sweetness that a fully washed coffee does not have.
The beans dry on raised beds for two to three weeks. At night they are covered to keep out moisture. After drying, they are hand-sorted at the Budeca dry mill, with UV quality control.
Variety
Red Bourbon is one of the original Arabica varieties. By way of Réunion, then still called Bourbon Island, the plant traveled to East Africa. In Burundi it is the most widely grown variety and is known for its sugar-rich cherries.
The red color of the cherry points to a higher sugar content than yellow or orange variants. That makes Red Bourbon well suited to a honey process: the sweetness is already in the cherry and the mucilage strengthens it further during drying.
Tasting notes
Kayanza Province is known as one of the best coffee regions in Burundi. The high altitude, the fertile soils and the stable climate create the conditions for ripe, flavourful cherries. The honey process amplifies what is already in the cherry.
This honey processed Red Bourbon from Burundi delivers citrus and soft floral sweetness. A coffee with a silky body and a long, sweet finish.

Coffee the way it was meant to be
At Blommers we follow coffee from the source to the cup. We work directly with farmers who know what they are doing and roast in a way that keeps the original flavour intact.
Alles wat we verkopen, van malers tot brewers, hebben we zelf getest. In onze ontwikkelruimte werken we dagelijks met de apparatuur, zodat het advies dat we geven is gebaseerd op ervaring en niet op een specificatieblad.
