The Project
To reach Bumba Hill, one must cross three rivers and two provincial borders. The farming communities there lack access to clean water and electricity. Coffee is the main crop, along with corn and beans.

At the hill’s center is a local market and a single primary school. For years, Long Miles faced many obstacles trying to build a washing station near Bumba.

Farmers had to walk over three hours to deliver coffee cherries. This year, Long Miles completed a new washing station on nearby Ninga Hill, allowing farmers to easily deliver their harvest on foot or by bicycle.

The Coffee

Traditional Burundian process (fully washed):
During the fully washed process, freshly harvested cherries are delivered by coffee farmers to the washing station, then floated and hand-sorted for ripeness upon arrival.

Freshly picked cherries are brought by farmers to the washing station, where they are floated and carefully hand-sorted to check for ripeness upon arrival.

The cherries are then pulped and subjected to a single fermentation stage. The parchment is dry fermented for approximately twelve hours before undergoing a final wash, which results in a clean and well balanced flavour profile.
