Kibingo

An Exceptional Coffee From Burundi

This exceptional Burundi comes to us from the Kibingo washing station in the community of Kayanza. This coffee is a sweet and sugary, characteristics that immediately stood out to us on the cupping table. Cardamom, Molasses, and Baking Spices  in the aroma give way to Dates, Molasses and Cardamom in the cup. We find that there are classic characteristics for a central African coffee, but also unique ones that makes the coffee shine. We have a limited supply of this lot!

The Kibingo washing station sits at 1893 meters above sea level, and serves 3515 registered coffee growers in Kayanza. The washing station is equipped with 10 fermentation tanks, 2 soaking tanks and a drying field with 165 drying tables. Kibingo can process 750,000 kg of coffee cherries per day. This is our third year purchasing from the Kibingo washing station, where we have carried exceptional washed, natural, and anaerobic fermented coffees. For 2023, Amavida is offering three Burundi lots from the Kibingo, Gakenke and Nemba washing stations.

The Bottom Line:

This Burundi Kabingo is a crowd pleaser. It is sweet and sugary with beautiful baking spice characteristics throughout. This coffee is for those who love the complex flavor profiles of central Africa.
