BURUNDI | MASHA | WASHED - ESPRESSO

Origin: Burundi Region: Kayanza Farm: Masha Producer: Smallholders Altitude: 1,672 masl Process: Washed Varietal: Bourbon Tasting Notes: Apple Tarte Tatin, Sumo Citrus, Caramel Candy Coffee Information:

Masha is a washed Bourbon from Kayanza, Burundi, with a bright fruit character and a deep, comforting sweetness that works beautifully as espresso.

The first sip brings the warmth of caramelised apple, followed by a juicy sumo citrus character that gives the coffee lift and energy. A smooth caramel sweetness develops underneath, softening the acidity and creating a balanced, rounded finish.

As espresso, the flavours become concentrated and generous. The fruit remains clear and lively, while the caramel character adds body and holds everything together. Think apple tarte tatin with raspberry compote and a piece of caramel candy to finish.

Masha is a community microlot processed at the Masha washing station, where coffee is received from more than 3,200 smallholder farmers. Careful washed processing gives the coffee its clarity, allowing the sweetness and fruit to remain distinct in every cup.

The result is an espresso that feels vibrant without becoming sharp, and sweet without becoming heavy. It is full of character on the first sip, with a clean and lingering finish that invites you back for another.
