Burundi Kirimiro Teka

Three new siphon coffees are introduced at caffe d'bolla today! The first one is Burundi Kirimiro Teka, and it's also available Whole Bean right now.

Teka is situated at a dizzying 1938 meters, and is the highest elevation washing station in Burundi. Teka has access to very clean water due to their altitude and proximity to a forest preserve, which aids in their traditional Burundi style double fermented coffee processing. In a survey of all the cooperatives, Teka was ranked as one of the top 5 stations in Burundi based on Coop management, ecology and coffee quality.

In the cup it's creme caramel and black cherry with floral notes and apple acidity. Tremendous!

Burundi Sogestal Kirimiro

A new batch of Burundi Sogestal Kirimiro just roasted!

This coffee comes from the washing station, Sogestal, which is located at just over 1900 meters, and is the highest elevation in Burundi. This was ranked as one of the top 5 washing stations in Burundi based on coffee quality, ecology, and Coop management. Perhaps the best Burundi of the year.

In the cup it's apple and juicy pear notes with a honey and a creamy caramel-butterscotch background.

Delicious. Come get yours today!

Burundi Karinzi - Maruri Hill

Just bagged! Available Whole Bean: Burundi Karinzi - Maruri Hill. This is also going to be featured in our Coffee Tasting Class - Basic tonight!

Karinzi is a smallholder coffee coop affiliated with Sogestal Kayanza, located in north Burundi near the Rwanda border. A sogestal is the Burundi entity that oversees regional cooperatives, helping them warehouse and market their coffees. The coop has recently (in 2012) taken profits to buy a new Penagos pulper, and do all the processing themselves. This will help them retain more profit from the sale of their coffee lots, rather than paying for processing fees.

In the cup it's sweet and savory aromatics with fruited apricot and heavy peach sweetness in the forefront. Hints of cola and raisin with a caramelized sugar and toffee flavors in the background. Exceptionally sweet and clean.
