kayave is a washed bourbon from burundi, roasted by buena vida coffee roasters at an omni level, meaning it's designed to work across both espresso and filter brewing. washed processing strips the cherry before fermentation, which typically produces a cleaner cup with clearly defined acidity and fruit clarity. bourbon is one of the older arabica varietals, known for balanced sweetness and moderate complexity. because the roast sits in the middle, you can pull it as espresso for a structured, bright shot or brew it as a pour-over to let the origin character open up more fully.
