Burundi Gatukuza from Sochaccy
Discover the beauty and culture of Burundi, a small country in the heart of Africa, known for its high-quality coffee whose taste and aroma remains unforgettable. Burundi Gatukuza from Sochaccyi is also famous for its unique characters, such as Khadja Nin, an internationally recognized artist whose music combines African, Arabic and Western influences. Another tourist attraction in this fascinating country is the charming Turtle Mountains, offering incredible scenery and a wealth of wildlife.
In Burundi, coffee plays a key role in the lives of the locals. They drink it often and with pleasure, valuing its rich flavor and deep aroma. Arabica coffees are particularly important in Burundi's coffee culture and are gaining worldwide recognition. An amusing story related to coffee from this country tells of Therenç Nduwayezu, who by chance discovered the perfect microclimate for growing coffee and made it his life's work. The secret of coffee from Burundi is the skillful combination of traditional methods of growing and processing the beans with an innovative approach to quality.
Coffees from Burundi come from different regions, such as Ngozi, home to the Gatukuza plantation, famous for its exceptional performance. The differences in flavor between these regions are noticeable, though each Burundi coffee has a deep aroma and unique taste.
Burundi Gatukuza region
The Gatukuza plantation is located in the Gashikanwa commune, in the northern province of Ngozi, near the border with Rwanda. Coffee is grown here at an altitude of about 1,650 meters above sea level, which contributes to its unique flavor and aroma. Coffee from the Gatukuza region stands out from the rest of the country, thanks to its unusual microclimate and the care taken in growing and processing the beans.
The processing method for the coffee on offer is washing the berries, which results in a bright, clean and distinct flavor in the cup.
Gatukuza Plantation
The coffee described comes from the Gatukuza Plantation in Burundi, which was created by Therenc Nduwayezu, combining the efforts of 600 small farmers from 8 neighboring hills. This collaboration resulted in the construction of a coffee processing station in 2008. Gatukuza, which means hill in the Kirundi language, is located in the Gashikanwa commune in northern Ngozi province, near the border with Rwanda. The coffee is grown at an altitude of 1,650 meters above sea level, which promotes excellent bean quality. Therenc Nduwayezu and his colleagues at the Long Miles Coffee Project, Ben and Kristy Carlson, support plantation development and farmer education so that Gatukuza coffee is increasingly valued in the market. Gatukuza won Burundi's prestigious Cup Of Excellence title in 2019, with a score of 90.13 points out of a possible 100, demonstrating the superior quality of the coffee on offer.
Flavor notes of the offered coffee
Burundi Gatukuza coffee has strong notes of red currant, honey and roiboos. The coffee works well in espresso, and in light roast it is worth trying in alternative methods such as Chemex or drip. For those starting out with coffee straight from the roaster, we recommend a medium roast level, which provides the best balance between acidity and sweetness.
What to follow when ordering coffee?
When ordering coffee, it's a good idea to choose a quantity for a maximum of 2 weeks, and choose packages that allow you to pour the whole thing into your coffee bean machine or storage container. Don't store coffee in bags, even those with closures - they are leaky. For those starting out with fresh-roasted coffee, it is recommended to choose a medium roast. If you do not have a grinder, choose your preparation method from the icons and we will grind the coffee for you.
