mugoyi is a natural-process bourbon from the kayanza region of burundi, roasted by ritual coffee roasters. natural processing means the coffee cherries are dried whole, which concentrates fruit sugars and pushes stone fruit character to the front of the cup. expect flavors in that ripe, dense fruit range, think plum, peach, or apricot, with the sweetness and body that natural burundis tend to carry. this kind of fruit-forward profile does well in a pour-over, where clarity lets the stone fruit read cleanly, or as an espresso if you want something sweeter and fuller in the cup.
