Lot Information

The Producer

The Yandaro station lies at the foot of the Kibira rainforest in the Northern Kayanza region. Growing conditions are optimal here with excellent soil, high groundwater reserves and mild temperatures. This is our fourth consecutive year that we are working with Yandaro. We visited the station in 2024 and met with the station manager Celeste. His focus on quality grading at every step of processing is a key reason why Yandaro has been a consistent favorite in our team. It’s a delicate coffee with layers of citrus, berry and florals. 

In Burundi and most African countries, individual producers are very small and do not process their own coffee. Instead they sell their cherry to local washing stations. The cup profile and quality of a station is determined by the local growing conditions around the station (terroir) and the diligence of the processing and grading work at the station. Yandaro receives cherry from 2300 local smallholders, living on 22 hills at around 1800 masl. Farmers pick cherry in the morning and walk to the station. Upon arrival, they float and handpick the cherry, to divide it into A and B quality. 

The Lot

Practically all coffee in Burundi is Red Bourbon. After floating and picking, the cherry is depulped and density sorted. The resulting parchment is dry fermented for 12 hours and then refloated in an open silo to remove more mucilage. Next, the parchment is dropped in a channel system running along the hill. While working its way downwards, the parchment is constantly agitated, removing all remaining mucilage and providing further density sorting. Finally the parchment is dried on raised beds up to 11.5% humidity. It then goes to a milling facility for sorting, more grading, handpicking and export.

How we brew it on Filter

Delivery

We ship Monday to Friday with DHL/Bpost. Orders received before 8AM will generally ship that same day. Exceptions can occur.

Freshness

We roast 2-3 days per week. The coffee we ship is usually roasted no longer than a week ago, but can be up to 2 weeks maximum. We recommend to rest our coffees as they gain more intensity and complexity 2-3 weeks after roasting.

Ground coffee

After roasting we pack and seal our coffee bags immediately. When you order ground coffee, be aware that the bag will be opened, so our team can grind your coffee.
