Heart of Songa is a washed Red Bourbon coffee grown high in the hills of Burundi’s Bururi province. Expect vibrant flavours of tropical fruit, grapefruit, mandarin, cherry and peach, balanced by a rich chocolate finish.
The Heart of Songa is also found in Kawazamurabwe: the community organisation which produces this coffee. Kawazamurabwe translates to “coffee raises up farmers”, in this case the 150 farming families who share their resources to produce this high quality lot.
Transport in the highlands is tricky, so the collective organise pickup of coffee cherries from each farm and delivery to the mill. Members collaborate in the sorting, washing and drying processes, sharing their labour, knowledge and skills across families and generations.
