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.

Mr Higgins Recommends - El Salvador Finca El Ingenio
From the start of our company we sought to achieve positive and meaningful relationships with those who devote their lives to producing quality coffee. Coffee is a difficult product to produce and requires devotion and energy to cope with our changing climate conditions The success of the coffee grower can depend very much on nature and the mercy of the elements.
