Burundi, Turihamwe, Washed
Red Apple • Black Tea • Caramel
Grown at 1750 meters in the volcanic soils of Burundi's Ngozi Province, this fully washed coffee is the direct result of incredible community effort. The women of Turihamwe pooled their savings to physically build their own independent wet mill, meaning they call the shots on how their coffee is processed from start to finish. This gives them total control over the quality and stability of every harvest. Because the plant grows at such a high elevation, the fruit matures and dries slowly in the cool air, creating a juicy and complex cup.
Coffee "C Market" Price - $3.09
Coffee is a globally traded commodity. As such, there is a market for trading coffee futures. This market price fluctuates based on many factors, but especially supply and demand. While, we do not buy many coffees based on the C Market, it does impact how coffee we purchase is priced.
Guilder's Price - $6.53
This is the final price we pay for this coffee. This includes any premiums we might pay to the producer to make sure they are receiving a sustainable margin. It also includes all of the logistics of moving the coffee from its place of origin to our roastery in the Alameda neighborhood of Portland, OR, USA.
