burundi coffee
by regent coffee roasters and brew bar · los angeles, usa
you'll taste lemon before grapefruit. this is burundi kayanza masha washed, a honey burundi from regent coffee roasters and brew bar.
it's bright and citrus-forward, with lemon, grapefruit, and citrus zest upfront, followed by stone fruit and a dry black tea quality. honey and honeycomb sweetness sit in the background, keeping the finish from feeling sharp.
it's a bourbon varietal grown in the kayanza region of burundi and processed using the honey method, which leaves some fruit mucilage on the bean during drying, contributing to the sweetness in the cup.
as a light roast with delicate citrus and tea-like characteristics, it suits filter or pour-over brewing, which highlights acidity and clarity rather than body. keep water temperature around 90 to 93 degrees celsius to avoid muting the brighter notes.
