Burundi - Izuba Mugoyi FW

Traditional Washed, Red Bourbon, Light-Medium Roaster Influence - House Filter Omni, great on batch or a more trad guest espresso

We first featured coffee from Izuba from a previous crop in Facility - but this year we've massively increased our purchasing. Whilst we have a bulk lot from the station running in Facility at the moment, we also have a second clip from a single hill separation. This lot from the growers on Mugoyi hill is emblematic of the Burundian coffee profile - cooked stonefruits, brown sugar, spice & tea. But to hit that house filter profile with an East African washed coffee, we're roasting it more developed than our traditional light style - pushing more sugar-browning notes, syrupy body and lower acidity. Crushable on batch, great guest grinder option, and high impact.

We're tasting:
Aromas of muscovado sugar and roasted plums, in the cup dried apricot, red apple and caramel. Cooked fruit character leaving a lower acidity and lots of sweet brown; in the best possible way. As it cools heaps of spiced tea notes reminding us of milky sweetened chai
