Ninga Washing Station is located on Ninga Hill in Burundi's Butanyerera Province, within the Matongo Commune. Sitting at approximately 1,900 metres above sea level and bordered by the Nkokoma River, the station serves coffee-growing communities across the surrounding hills. It was established to give local farmers a reliable place to deliver their cherries, providing fair weighing practices and competitive prices without the need to travel long distances. Despite the region's fertile landscape and abundant rivers, many communities still have limited access to clean drinking water and electricity. Over the years, periods of conflict have repeatedly displaced farming families, forcing many to leave their homes while their coffee trees remained untended until they could safely return. Today, Ninga Washing Station plays an important role in supporting local producers, creating stable market access and helping farmers continue producing exceptional coffee despite the region's challenges.
This lot is produced using a yeast fermentation fully washed process. Carefully selected yeast cultures are introduced during fermentation to guide flavour development before the coffee is thoroughly washed and dried. The controlled fermentation enhances consistency while bringing greater clarity to the cup, highlighting bright acidity, refined sweetness and layered fruit and floral notes. The result is a clean, expressive coffee with excellent balance, complexity and a vibrant finish.
