A distinctive addition to the H.R.Higgins collection, and our first coffee from Burundi. Grown on the hills surrounding Ninga in Kayanza Province, this lot comes from around 150 smallholder farmers cultivating Red Bourbon trees at altitudes of 1,600 to 1,700 metres.
Coffee is central to life in this remote region, where farmers often travel long distances to deliver their harvest. The cherries are processed at Ninga Coffee Washing Station, part of the Long Miles Coffee Project, founded in 2011. Their work has supported thousands of farmers across Burundi in producing exceptional coffees, while investing in local communities and sustainable farming.
Expect bright citrus notes of lemon, balanced with soft, stewed peach.
Giku Hill is particularly well suited to filter preparation. Excellent for pour-over or cafetière, and equally expressive as a lighter-style espresso. Best enjoyed without milk.
A New Origin for H.R.Higgins
Discover Burundi Giku Hill, the first Burundi coffee to join the H.R.Higgins collection. A bright and elegant washed Red Bourbon with notes of citrus, stone fruit, cane sugar and black tea, sourced by our Head of Coffee from over 150 smallholder farmers in Kayanza Province.

Chinese Teas to ring in the Year of the Horse
Chinese New Year is fast approaching and we're entering the Year of the Horse. This festival lasts more than just one night and much longer than simply gathering to wait for the clock to chime twelve and the fireworks to start. Whether you're celebrating or not, Chinese teas are always worth exploring.
