More Info

Kurusha means “Better than” in the language of Kirindi. The reason for this name is to highlight the mixing process to develop a particular flavor profile using green coffee from three mills located in Kayanza Province.

Burundi has long been overlooked in comparison to its neighboring East African specialty coffee producing powerhouses. However, Burundi season, for us, is one of the highlights of the annual coffee calendar. The country’s coffee is produced almost entirely by smallholder farmers, and much of this small-scale production is of exceptional quality. With its super sweet, clean and often floral coffees, Burundi, every year, is increasingly putting itself on the specialty coffee map.
