About The Source

This natural lot comes to us from the Izuba Washing Station in Burundi. Izuba, meaning "sun" in Kirundi, is located in Runinya, within the Kabarore Commune of Kayanza Province. The washing station is positioned near a river, providing a reliable and essential source of fresh water for coffee processing. Situated close to Kibira National Park, Izuba benefits from the region's favorable soil and climate as they create ideal conditions for high-quality coffee production.

Izuba is surrounded by three hills—Kigeri, Ryamukona, and Mugoyi—which are the primary areas that collect and deliver coffee cherries to the washing station. Once the cherries are brought to Izuba, they undergo a thorough floating process, followed by extensive wet sorting. Their natural coffees require about 30 days of drying time.
