We love the deeply flavoured profile of Bumba Hill, with ripe passion fruit and cherry. Silky dark chocolate is balanced by gooseberry and rhubarb. The natural processing brings deep sweetness, almost anaerobic in character, which really develops as it cools.
Ben and Kristy Carlson moved to Burundi in 2011 and saw that both injustice and poor farming practices permeated the country's newly privatized coffee industry. They also saw that roasters around the world had a difficult time getting consistently great coffees from Burundi. In an effort to see positive change in both farmers and roasters lives, Long Miles Coffee was born.
Long Miles Project s a farmer-driven coffee production model. They work with coffee farming families on eleven unique hills within Burundi. Long Miles create traceable micro-lots that yield consistently great coffees while improving the livelihoods of the small holding farmers who grow them.
The harvest season in Burundi usually begins in April and by the end of July the last of Burundis best cherries arrive at the station. In recent seasons, The Long Miles project have developed their natural processing alongside the traditional washed method used in Burundi. Drying coffee in the whole cherry develops texture and sweetness.
