A fruity treat you can enjoy even without coffee-making equipment? No problem with Fruity Coffee Bags from the Czech roastery Beansmith’s! These convenient brew bags contain premium Burundi Kibingo coffee, which will delight you with its distinctly fruity character. The flavor profile combines floral notes of hibiscus, the sweetness of cherry compote, and a long finish reminiscent of port wine. Fresh acidity, a lighter body, and pleasant sweetness come together to create a juicy cup of coffee that you can enjoy practically anywhere. All you need is hot water, a mug, and a few minutes of patience.
The coffee comes from northern Burundi, from the Kayanza region, where smallholder farms are located at an elevation of 1,700–1,900 meters above sea level. Their harvest is sent to the Kibingo processing station, which works with more than 1,700 farmers from the surrounding hills. The station also helps farmers replant their coffee trees, providing subsidized seedlings and organic fertilizer made from coffee pulp. So behind every cup lies not only a generous dose of fruit, but also the hard work of the local community.
The distinctive flavor profile comes from the Red Bourbon variety and the Anaerobic Intenso Yeast Natural processing method. Hand-harvested coffee cherries undergo approximately 36 hours of fermentation with added yeast, followed by 2–3 weeks of drying the whole cherries on raised tables. This process helps develop their fruity character. And preparation is really very simple. Each bag contains 15 g of freshly ground coffee; simply pour 250 ml of hot water over it and let it steep for 5 minutes.
