Burundi Rubagabaga

The Rubagabaga Washing Station is located in the Kayanza region of Burundi and is named after the hill it sits on. Many producers from around the region contribute to this washing station. The average farmer in Burundi owns 1/8–1/4 a hectare of land, many smallholder farmers will deliver their fresh cherry to a washing station in order to be sorted and processed; microlots, then, are blended lots comprising coffees from many producers that express exquisite coffee, but are not generally traceable to the individual producers.
