Matongo, Double Fermentation Washed Bourbon

This coffee was a first-place winner of the coveted Cup of Excellence in 2013. Processed through one of Burundi’s few double fermentation washing stations, Matongo coffee cherries are cultivated by women coffee farmers in a high-altitude microclimate, grown among tea, bananas, beans, and cassava plants. We receive this coffee through JNP Coffee, which is run by Jeanine Niyonzima-Aroian. Jeanine grew up in Burundi and has known these farmers for a long time, establishing a close bond over the years. Expect notes of peach, jasmine, and blackberry.
