Burundi — Izuba Mugoyi Natural

    Burundi — Izuba Mugoyi Natural

    Natural processing is still relatively rare in Burundi, where most coffees are traditionally washed. Izuba’s approach shows how this method can build depth and character – the extended contact between the bean and fruit develops rich, syrupy sweetness and layers of fruit-forward flavour, while the high altitudes slow down cherry maturation, preserving clarity and structure.

    The result is a cup with berry sweetness, floral notes and a juicy, lingering finish that captures the vibrancy of Burundi’s northern highlands, qualities that you'd usually associate with neighbouring Ethiopia and Rwanda.

    Izuba Washing Station
    The Producer

    The Izuba washing station is in the commune of Kabarore, around 23km from Kayanza township and within the greater Kayanza province – arguably Burundi’s most renowned specialty coffee region. Sitting between 1,500 and 1,700 metres above sea level, coffees processed at Izuba share many of the fruit-forward characteristics found in neighbouring Ethiopia.

    Izuba, meaning sun in Kirundi, is uniquely placed beside a nearby river that provides a consistent freshwater source for processing and supports hundreds of smallholder farmers from the surrounding hills of Kigeri, Ryamukona, and Mugoyi.
