Background:

Microlot

Burundi microlots are selected out of the daylots created by various centralized washing stations, basis cup quality. Because the average farmer in Burundi owns 1/8–1/4 a hectare of land, many smallholder farmers will deliver their fresh cherry to a washing station in order to be sorted and processed; microlots, then, are blended lots comprising coffees from many producers that express exquisite coffee, but are not generally traceable to the individual producers.

Gisha

The farmers who deliver cherries to Gisha Washing Station work on small plots with an average of 200 to 250 trees. Their careful and selective harvesting goes a long way to produce the best quality product. The coffee speaks for itself with aromatic florals, soft citrus, and many characteristics of prized East African coffees. The area of Gisha, from which the station takes its name, was named by King Bigayimpunzi and is considered the headquarters of Tangara, in Ngozi Province.
