burundi coffee
by mill city roasters · minneapolis, usa
you'll taste lemon before red apple. this is burundi - kayanza masha, washed, a washed burundi from mill city roasters.
it leads with lemon and red apple acidity, supported by stone fruit, jasmine, and floral notes, then settles into black tea, caramel, almond, and a mild tomato savory quality on the finish.
the coffee is grown in the kayanza region of burundi and uses a washed process, meaning the fruit is removed before the beans are dried, which produces a cleaner, brighter cup.
the tea-like clarity and bright acidity suit a pour over or drip method, brewed at around 200°f with a medium-fine grind to highlight the floral and citrus character.
the numbers tell one story. 4.9 stars from 102 reviews. but step into mill city roasters on 33rd avenue southeast and you'll understand what those ratings really mean. this isn't coffee as commodity. it's coffee as conversation starter, as morning ritual worth waking up for. the kind of place where baristas remember your usual and actually care if the milk temperature hits that sweet spot between scalding and lukewarm. you can taste the difference when someone gives a damn about what they're serving. minneapolis has plenty of coffee options. chain stores with consistent mediocrity. trendy spots that prioritize instagram over extraction. mill city roasters does something harder: they make great coffee without making a big show about it. the beans speak for themselves. the steam wand hisses with purpose. regulars come back because the coffee rewards their loyalty with flavors that change your whole morning. some places roast coffee. others understand it.
