About the Region
This exceptional coffee comes from Kayanza province, known for producing some of the highest quality coffees in Burundi. This particular coffee was the first-place winner of the prestigious Cup of Excellence competition in 2013. Processed through one of the few double-fermentation washing stations in Burundi, Matongo coffee cherries are grown by women coffee farmers in a high-altitude microclimate, among tea, banana, bean, and cassava plants. Jeanine has known these farmers for a long time, establishing a close bond over the years.
