Our Origin Select coffee this month comes from the Gahahe Washing Station in the Kayanza Province, in northern Burundi.Burundi's coffee is known for its sweet, fruity, and floral notes, which are attributed to the country's high altitude and unique soil composition. The harvest season runs from March to July. The coffee cherries are handpicked by the farmers, and only the ripe cherries are harvested.

Due to the small size and yield on the average coffee farm or plot (farmers here own less than half a hectare of land, on average), washing stations are the primary point of purchase in Burundi. Unlike other coffee-growing regions where landholdings are slightly larger, most producers do not have space on their property or the financial means to do their wet- or dry-milling. Instead, the majority of growers deliver their coffee cherries to a facility that does sorting, blending, and post-harvest processing to create different offerings.
