This bold and heavy roast will feel right at home on a cool winter’s night. The dark chocolate and syrupy fruit notes combine to bring out a bittersweet profile with a layer of earthiness that leaves you wanting more. Murambi is an impressive operation, a privately owned collection site in the Kiganda area near the Mubarazi river. The coffee processed at Murambi are from the surrounding hillside villages (“collines”), which there’s talk of separating in the future, but this year was all blended together by day of delivery. Most of the farms are around 2000 meters above sea level and entirely planted in Bourbon. Murambi also won the Burundi Cup of Excellence competition in 2012.
