Mae's Medium

This listing is for our 8oz Mae's Medium Roast.

A coffee that's light and bright. Long-steeped black tea notes that linger, sugar cane, cinnamon bark, aromatic allspice and rose hips, lemongrass-like acidity that pops. 

Great as a filter brew.

CULTIVAR: Bourbon Types

FARM GATE: YES

FARM NOTES: This is our first time offering a coffee from Burundi. However, I think you'll find the flavors just as fun to explore as the name itself! 

This coffee comes from Kazoza N'Ikawa, roughly translating to "the future is coffee". The cooperative assists members with marketing their coffees, handling cash flow, agronomical support, general business organization, and record keeping. This association has 57 stations in total operating in the Kayanza district of Rwanda.

This lot is from a single washing station called "Mpemba". Hand sorting is intensive, and farm workers start sifting out under and over ripe cherry on delivery. Sorting of the parchment coffee continues at the drying tables, and then the green coffee is sifted through once again after dry-milling. They produce both washed and naturally processed coffees, this being a wet-processed lot.

Bourbon is the dominant cultivar in the region (as is the case in most of Burundi), a variety known for syrupy sweetness when grown in high altitudes.
