About:
Although Burundi is a very small country, the drive to Ngozi in the north from Bujumbura was quite a journey. Potholes, stray goats, and government motorcades were just some of the obstacles we encountered on our way, but the journey was stunning as we wound our way deeper into the lush green hills.
Kibingo station is in the northernmost commune of Kayanza and serves 3515 local producers. All the producers are regularly distributed organic fertilizer and coffee seedlings at or below cost. This coffee is 4C, UTZ, and Rainforest Alliance certified.
Roasting days: Proud Mary roast Monday-Friday during normal business hours. To ensure freshness of coffee, best to order early in the week as postal services and couriers do not operate on weekends.
Orders: placed by 8.00am PST will be roasted and dispatched the same day. If you are ordering on a Friday, and order after 8.00am then your coffee will be roasted the following business day - Monday.
