    Coffee is fully washed and fermented.
    SEGEC’s coffee scored a very high 87 in SCAA cupping.
  • High Quality Once the coffee is fermented, it is pre-dried under shade in order to protect the coffee from the sunlight. After being pre-dried, the coffee is moved to drying beds located under the sun. Coffee is carefully dried and constantly moved to achieve a even dry process. This process of moving the coffee permits the parchment to stay intact, creating a beautiful parchment layer that is not damaged by the sunlight.
    The Mpanga Washing Station exemplifies the effort to improve the quality and supporting infrastructure of coffee cultivation in Burundi. With a focus on “quality over quantity” they incentivise farmers to produce coffee of award-winning quality.

Our Mission

To produce many types of coffee and promoting coffee farming in Burundi while maintaining the highest standard of quality with an aim of marketing Burundian coffee.

PROPER ROASTING

Mpanga Washed

Washed process coffee is fully cleaned of the cherry before drying and shipping. This means no trace of the cherry is allowed to ferment and impart flavors after harvesting. For this roast, the result is mild, sweet flavors that are clean and balanced. Expect notes of soft fruit, brown sugar, and raisin. We find this one to be delicious and easy to drink, as well as versatile. While we recommend trying them side by side as pour overs, this roast works particularly well as a drip or press brew too.

Mpanga Honey

For a quick refresher on honey process coffee: a honey process splits the difference between washing all of the mucilage off of the bean and allowing the whole cherry to ferment on the bean like in a natural. Honey process coffee is hulled, but the mucilage isn’t fully washed off, allowing for a honey like wrap to develop on the bean. In practice, this gives this roast more unique and striking notes than its counterpart. Victrola lists notes of Maple syrup, cherry cola, and graham cracker. You’ll get plenty of sweetness that hits different parts of the palate differently, and a bright acidity that pulls the notes together. A great pour over, this roast also results in a sweet and delicious espresso!
