Rob says: For our Mister LGB and Single Origin range we secured a fantastic coffee from the highlands of Kayanza Burundi.
This collaborative effort between Heza Washing Station and local smallholder farmers is championing the quality coffee of the surrounding hills. Heza means ‘beautiful place’ and with panoramic views of an ever-changing East African sky, this washing station lives up to its name. Heza was built into a cliff at the foot of Gitwe Hill. From here, the Rwandan border and the tips of the Kibira, Burundi’s only indigenous rainforest, can be seen looming in the distance. The individual micro-climates of each hill combined with the station’s ideal conditions result in a taste profile great for both filter and espresso brewing.
