INTRO

Located on the outskirts of Bukeye Village in Kayanza at 1,760 MASL, Bukeye washing station was the very first operation Long Miles built. Bukeye lives and breathes coffee — most of its population are coffee farmers and the surrounding producers receive both a cherry payout and yearly premiums for quality consistency.

THE PRODUCER

The Long Miles Coffee Project works directly with smallholder farmers across Burundi, providing infrastructure, training, and fair premiums to improve both quality and livelihoods. Munyinya Hill is one of the collection areas for the Bukeye washing station.

THE CUP

In the cup, the cola spice notes hit first, abruptly countered by a bright orange blossom floral. As the acidity starts to peak, fresh and ripe oranges pop up, settling in with more spice and black tea notes on the finish. A strong oolong tea note crops up just in the final sips, similar to a pu'er tea orange.

Flavour Notes
