<p>Mixed berry jam, dark chocolate and walnut. Farm: Long Miles Coffee Project Region: Kayanza Country: Burundi Processing: Natural Elevation: 1,960m Variety: Heirloom Bourbon Sourced Through: Upstream Coffee Imports --- We have been roasting coffee from Long Miles since 2014 - when our head roaster Adam visited them in person in the beautiful hills of Burundi. We had heard amazing things about what they were accomplishing in terms of both quality and the prices paid to the growers - it was all true - and then some. They are truly re-inventing both what Burundian coffee can be and what a transparent, premium based and sustainable coffee chain means. From Adam, in regards to one of his career highlights: "It’d be from my first origin trip, walking down a dirt road into the Long Miles Coffee Project Bukeye washing station in the hills of Kayanza, Burundi. It was the end of a long day and the air was thick with the aromas of cherry pulp, fermentation and coffee flowers. Unforgettable." This lot comes from Long Miles Coffee Project's own farm! The farm is situated above their Heza washing station. A little similar to the LMCP Scout’s 'farmer field schools' in that it also serves as a demonstration farm for local growers - showcasing best practices, from planting indigenous shade trees, inter-cropping, mulching and pruning and much more! About Long Miles Coffee Project : "We are a small American family living in Burundi, which is smack dab in the heart of east Africa. We are passionate about producing amazing coffee and caring for the well-being of the coffee farmers who grow it. We weren’t always coffee producers. First, we were a family with a dream. Our dream was that one day we could facilitate direct and meaningful relationships between coffee roasters and coffee growers by producing great coffee and telling the story of the farmers who grow it. If we could do that, then the local farming community would thrive and the world would gain the gift of great Burundi coffee.</p><p><strong>Origin:</strong> Rwanda</p><p><strong>Process:</strong> Natural</p><p><strong>Tasting Notes:</strong> Chocolate, Berry, Cherry, Lime, Dark Chocolate</p>
