【Note】
Gishambusha WS wons 12th place in 2013 Burundi COE.  Burundi holds Cup of Excellence since 2012, and this lot comes from the competition held for the second time.  Unlike other COE, entries are made by washing stations in Burundi, not by estates.  Built in 1992, Gishambusha WS has been working closely ehough with coffee farmers to produce high quality coffee, specialty coffee since.  It is said that over fifty percent of Burundi’s Population is involved in coffee production and this WS, Burundi government own, motivates the farmers to receive "premiums" by growing high quality coffee.
