archival release #51 is a 2022 burundian coffee from the mikuba lot, released as part of passenger and necessary coffee's archival series. burundi produces coffees known for their fruit-forward, ferment-driven character, and this one delivers on that, showing winey depth alongside jasmine and broader floral aromatics. the winey quality suggests a longer fermentation or natural-leaning process, so expect some complexity and fruit intensity in the cup. it suits slower, more attentive brew methods, like a pour over or french press, where those floral and winey layers have room to open up. grind fresh and use water around 92-94°c to avoid flattening the aromatics.
