Burundi Kinyovu
Producer Profile: This direct trade micro lot coffee from the Kinyovu Wash Station is an IWCA certified women produced coffee. The International Women’s Coffee Alliance (IWCA) leads women’s empowerment in the international coffee industry by supporting and growing a network of self-organized, self-governing, women-led chapters across the globe.
This coffee is made up of many small farms. Many times, a farmer may only have 25-50 coffee trees per farm. The coffee cherries are handpicked every morning, sorted and delivered to the washing stations (wet mills) in the afternoon and throughout the early evening. Each farmer’s delivery is processed daily, thus producing micro-lots that can be traced to a specific hill. The results of such a caring process are really phenomenal in the cup. This really is a cup that shines with bright pineapple and sweet acidity but also leaves you with lingering flavors of toffee and hints of chocolate. Not only is this a must try coffee, but the social impact of your purchase really makes a difference.

Preparation
Grind your coffee as close to brewing as possible. Match the grind of coffee to your brewing method. We recommend using 2 tablespoons of ground coffee for 6 ounces of water. Adjust the amount of water or coffee to achieve your desired strength.

Rich complex flavor with a very smooth finish. We keep two canisters of beans. This one is a fixture now.
I was attracted to this variety because of the small group of farmers who grow these beans and the fact that their process from growing to washing is an effort organized and managed by women. A rarity in their part of the world. The nose is a rich chocolate. The flavor is velvety smooth with a rich chocolate and toffee flavor. Yet another excellent example of carefully sourced beans by Good as Gold that further complicates my decision when placing my orders.
