Burundi Mutambu Hill Anaerobic Natural (Rim of Africa Hikers Treat)

From the elevated highlands of Bujumbura Province in western Burundi, this exceptional anaerobic natural showcases the best of what East African specialty coffee has to offer. Grown at 1,700–1,900 metres above sea level, the Red Bourbon cherries are sealed in airtight tanks without oxygen — a precise, controlled fermentation that unlocks remarkable fruit complexity before the cherries are sun-dried on raised beds.

The resulting cup is richly fruited and deeply satisfying, with none of the harshness that uncontrolled fermentation can bring. A coffee that reveals something new with every brew.

Tasting notes: Raspberry, caramel, nectarine and molasses, with a silky, wine-like body and clean finish.
