INTRO
A late-season pickup from Long Miles Coffee Project, last worked with in 2018 — Mikuba is the juicier and jammier of two very dynamic lots that came in from LMCP this time around. Expressive and fruit-forward, with nice sweetness and clarity. In the cup: red grape, raspberry, and hibiscus.
THE PRODUCER
This lot comes from the Mikuba washing station in Kayanza, Burundi, sourced through Long Miles Coffee Project and exporting partner Osito, representing cherry from multiple smallholder farmers in the surrounding area.
THE PROCESS
This lot is Washed, a method that removes the fruit before fermentation and drying — allowing Red Bourbon's naturally jammy, fruit-forward character to come through, building the red grape and raspberry sweetness that define this cup.
THE CUP
Jammy and juicy — red grape and raspberry sweetness lead, with a tartaric red and blue fruit acidity throughout, finishing on a clean, tea-like hibiscus note.
