This single-origin coffee is sourced from the Campazi community in the Kayanza region of Burundi, grown at an elevation of 1600-2000 meters. It is a Bourbon variety processed using a specialized natural method that includes a sun-dried fermentation stage, followed by drying in parchment sacks and on raised beds. The cup profile is complex and clean, featuring distinct tasting notes of strawberry preserves, tropical citrus, dried grape, and amber honey. This light roast offers a bright citric backbone and jammy red berry characteristics.
Color Coffee Roasters is the brainchild of Charlie Gundlach, who turned his backyard roasting obsession into a legit operation in Eagle, Colorado, back in 2016. They’re pretty geeky about the science, hence the name Color, which links specific tasting notes to actual colors in a spectrum. Yet, they keep the vibe super chill and approachable for everyone while hunting for that perfect sweet spot on their energy-efficient Loring roaster to let the natural terroir really pop. Plus, they’re big on sustainability and transparency, so you can feel good about drinking a cup that’s as kind to the planet as it is tasty.
