The Kigobe washing station represents a network of more than 3000 smallholder farmers located at high altitudes in the province of Kirundo. Washing stations like Kigobe have played a major role in developing the international profile of Burundian coffees. Expect clean, delicate flavors and a syrupy body that we admire in other African coffee-producing countries.
