Hey there.  It’s been too long.  How about we talk about Burundi?  We have partnered with a community of farmers, whom are putting a lot of work and care into producing some of Burundi’s finest coffees.  

We met Ben Carlson in MPLS last fall.  He interviewed us to see if we had what it took to represent his project well.  We are thankful we passed the test.  He and his family have been laboring with a few thousand coffee farmers to increase the quality of the coffee, and in turn, the quality of life.  

Burundi coffee can be troublesome.  The aftereffects of a visit from an Antestia bug produce a most dissatisfying flavor in the cup.  You can smell it when it is ground, and sometimes before.  The undesirable characteristic is that of a raw and funky potato.  Long Miles Coffee Project producers have done a great job picking ripe fruit, as well as capturing the little bugs themselves. 

The cup characteristics of the coffees we purchased from the varying hills in their community have varied and complex elements.   We are continually blown away by the taste variance in coffee, found by relatively small differences in location and elevation.  It’s long been established that this effect exists, but it’s still no less amazing every time we taste it.  

We collaborated with Kristy J Carlson, Ben’s wife & mother of two boys, on the coffee packaging.  We have not visited their town yet, to take our own photos.  Kirsty was kind enough to share some of the photos she has taken.  They were excellent photos, and we wanted to pay respect to the folks in the picture, as well as to the art of the photographer.   

If you desire these in your cup.  Come visit us, or order them here.
