About This Coffee
Giku is a Red Bourbon lot from Kayanza, Burundi (1,700+ meters), harvested June 2024 and processed as a honey lot. The coffee was partially depulped, fermented (up to 36 hours), rinsed, then dried on traditional African raised beds for 16–20 days. Tasting notes include nectarine, Rainier cherry, carob, baking spice, red tea, peach, waffle cone and cherry pie, yielding a lively, well-structured cup.

Flower Child Coffee
Prestin Yoder founded Flower Child as a small roasting and green buying project after years working in specialty coffee. The operation runs out of Oakland, focusing on limited releases rather than a permanent lineup. Yoder roasts light but fully developed targeting clarity, and sources directly from farmers. The emphasis on farmer compensation and ongoing dialogue with producing partners shapes both the selection and the pricing. Coffees are curated for cleanliness, vibrancy, and origin expression, with lots from Ethiopia, Kenya, Burundi, Colombia, or Ecuador appearing frequently.
