Giku Hill
Producer Profile
A long stretch of fifteen kilometers’ dirt road lies between the Long Miles Bukeye Washing Station and Giku hill. This hill and the producers that grow coffee there is very remote. Although there are many small rivers running through this region, the communities that live here have little access to clean drinking water and are far beyond the reach of electricity. Coffee is the most important crop grown on the hill, closely competing with corn and beans. This partilcuar Private Auction lot is a washed anaerobic coffee, a rare process in Burundi. It shows the clealniness of washed coffee with an added intensity from the anaerobic fermentation.

Kayanza
The most well-known of Burundi's coffee growing regions, Kayanza has mild weather and relatively cool temperatures. Coffees from the highlands of Kayanza benefit from rich, volcanic soils and of course, high elevations.
Red Bourbon
Bourbon takes its name from Bourbon Island (now La Réunion), where it was introduced by French missionaries who had taken a few coffee seeds from Yemen in the 1700s. Along with Typica, Bourbon accounts for the basis of most of the world's coffee production today which is made up of Bourbon and Typica descendant varieties. Bourbon is known for its high-quality potential, susceptibility to disease and relatively low yields. The vast majority of coffee grown in Burundi is Red Bourbon.
