Curator's Notes

In 2012, Kahawa Link Company (Kalico) was created by two Burundi women to help produce and showcase the country’s finest coffees. This lot, from small local farms, is a tropical paradise of fruit flavors on a base of creamy chocolate.

Roaster's Notes

In 2012, Angele Ciza and her business partner purchased washing stations from Burundi's government with the intent of processing and showcasing some of the finest coffees in the country. With this, the Kahawa Link Company (Kalico) was created. Kalico's relationships with farmers have been mutually beneficial with investments in education and social infrastructure bolstering the quality of coffee and living alike. This coffee from the Idiwili village of North-Eastern Burundi is exemplary of Kalico's efforts in the region to share Burundi’s best coffees. At first sip you will be greeted with vibrant notes of sweet orange and juicy pineapple followed by a lingering chocolate finish.

"This is my first non-commercial, whole bean coffee purchase. (Had been drinking ground Folgers for years. And, just finished a 3-pound bag of Starbucks House Blend beans (which were very dark and oily, especially compared to this light roast).) I can taste the chocolate notes. But, the claimed orange and pineapple are a bit more difficult for my untrained palate to pick up. I think what is called “orange and pineapple” tastes like simple acidity to me. So either my palate isn’t sophisticated enough yet or I might’ve dialed in my grind a little too fine. That said, it’s delicious coffee and I had fun making it this morning."

"I’m a big fan of Burundi coffee so I had high expectations. It didn’t disappoint! Ladro’s taste notes were spot on and the citrus acidity, juicy sweetness, and chocolate finish make this my ideal daily drinker- bright and grounded. Highly recommend!"

"I just can't get 'into' citrus and coffee flavors. The pineapple came through, but, it was just weird. "

"Nice and light. The bourbon was lost on me a bit, but the citrusy note made for an enjoyable cup!"
