TIB Coffee (This Is Burundi) started operations in Muyinga after seeing the success of specialty coffee grown in nearby Kayanza province. They built the Karambo CWS (Coffee Washing Station) on Karambo hill in the Gasorwe commune, in the North East of Burundi. This area is otherwise famous for the Ruvubu national park, and the Ruvubu river joining with the Nile.

This lot grown by smallholders on Kiryama Hill is honey processed, and we love that it shows a little on the nose, but delivers a lot in the cup; expect some toffee & cherry to start with, finished by lush and complex floral characteristics as the brew cools.
