Tastes just like The end of summer!
Busambo is a standout Burundian coffee that brings serious sweetness and sunshine to the cup. This sweet Red Bourbon lot, sourced through our friends at Red Fox Coffee Merchants, shines with super-bright, clean acidity and a beautifully balanced sweetness. The first sip pops with candied grapefruit, followed by the juicy sparkle of Rainier cherry. As it cools, soft, fuzzy cream soda sweetness rolls in, giving the cup a playful twist. The result is a complex, glossy coffee with a dynamic personality that keeps changing from hot to cool. Grown near Kayanza, this coffee comes through Umoco washing station, whose name means “light” in Kirundi and serves as a hub for coffee from the surrounding hills. In Burundi, coffee is more than a crop—it’s an essential source of income for farming families, helping support education, livestock, and everyday household needs. Bright, juicy, sweet, and endlessly fun, Busambo is a little cup of sunshine from the hills of Burundi.
