This coffee comes from the legendary Butegana station in the Kayanza region, which is rightly considered one of the oldest and most respected processing stations in all of Burundi. Since 1952, local smallholder farmers have been growing the traditional Red Bourbon variety here. Most families in this area cultivate only a few hundred coffee trees, and the cherry harvest itself is carried out exclusively by hand and very selectively. This lot is also part of the prestigious IMPACT Beyond Flagship project, which specifically supports local farmers and their families through a microcredit system and the sustainable development of modern agriculture.
After harvesting, the coffee cherries undergo careful sorting and are then fermented using special Lalcafé Intenso yeast. Thanks to the extended 36-hour fermentation, the coffee gains a more pronounced fruitiness, greater sweetness, and a more complex flavor profile. Subsequent drying takes place on African beds for 10 to 14 days, which helps preserve the purity of flavors and the characteristic intensity of this unique lot.
