Ā
This coffee comes to us from a group of smallholder farmers in the Busambo community in the Kayanza province of Burundi. Coffee farmers in this community grow coffee on their land and bring the harvested cherry on foot to the Umoco washing station where it is processed meticulously with a 12 hour wet fermentation, followed by a second of the same length in cement tanks. The coffee is then dried for 20-25 days on raised beds. Ā
The results of this process are a cup that is sparkling, floral, and clean. We're tasting notes of cranberry, toffee, and orange peel.Ā

Frequently Asked Questions
When Will My Order Ship?
Most orders ship the next business day from when they are placed, unless that is a holiday.
The only exception is any pre-order item, which will ship on the date stated on that item's pre-order page.
Do You Have Recommendations For Brewing?
Yes!
First, we recommend a brewing ratio of about 1:17. So whatever your dose of coffee is for a brew (we recommend weighing your coffee in grams), multiply that number by 17, and use that weight of water to brew.
Second, always try to grind your coffee fresh, directly before you brew. This will significantly impact the flavor.
Lastly, and maybe most important, always use the highest quality water you can. Filtered is always best. Coffee is 98.5% water, so the water you use makes a huge difference.
Any other questions? Just drop us a line.
Is ReAnimator Coffee Organic/Fair Trade?
While some of our coffees may happen to be certified organic or fair trade, we do not specifically look for either of these certifications when sourcing coffees, and do not market them as such.
All of our coffees are bought at fixed prices above the c-market, and 99% of the time we are paying higher prices than the Fair Trade Certified price.
Our sourcing goals are always quality and flavor focused, and we buy from producers and importers we trust to provide us with coffee that fits into our ideology.Ā
