【Note】
Found in 1999, Kagombe washing-station is located in the north-east Muyinga, not far from the Tanzanian border and managed by Sogestal Kirundo Muyinga. Burundi is often referred as "developing" or "new face" in the coffee society; however, there are several high quality coffee growers and Washing stations preparing for export. We cannot deny Tanzanian coffee influence over them, but Burundi coffee has very unique character on top of "earthiness" and full bodied characteristics of African beans. This rot may fit very well with deeper roasting for espresso. Caffe-Latte will be the choice to bring out clear but mellow flavor of this.
