Background: 

It is always with great pleasure that we offer a lot from Burundi. It is one of my top producing countries. I wish it had more recognition and more coffee drinkers were aware of the country's ability to produce some of the most delicate, beautifully crisp and complex coffees.

Kibingo is a washing station located in the Kabarore Commune in the Kayanza province The washing station collects the cherries from over 3500 local coffee farmers spread over the 18 neighbouring hills. Kibingo is part of the Greenco group, an organisation that implements projects to help improve the quality of the coffee and the lives of the community. This is the 3rd time we have bought a lot from the Green Co team, they must be doing something right, that's for sure.

Made of Many:

Based in Stanmore in Sydney Inner West, Made of Many believes that people are the best versions of themselves when they pursue what they love. Their passion is to engage and captivate through the way they source and roast coffee.

All of their coffees are sourced through importers they know and trust. They focus on sourcing coffees that have vivid varietal/origin characteristics. Their offerings reflect the current season of coffees from passionate producers.

Made of Many is dedicated to the craft and is always looking for better ways to display the vivid character within a particular coffee and honour the passionate work that goes into growing it.
