this is a medium-roast bourbon varietal from the ngozi region of burundi, processed using the honey method, which leaves some fruit mucilage on the bean during drying and adds body and natural sweetness. in the cup it leans bright and sweet together, grapefruit acidity balanced against caramel, brown sugar, honey, and honeycomb. the honey process makes it forgiving and full-bodied, so it works well as a pour-over where the clarity highlights the citrus, or as a flat white where the sweetness fills out the milk. grind medium-fine for filter, slightly coarser for immersion.
common questions

the coffee is a bourbon varietal grown in burundi's ngozi region and processed using the honey method, which retains some of the fruit's natural sugars during drying to build body and sweetness.
How should I brew Burundi?
a pour-over at medium-fine grind will highlight the grapefruit acidity and caramel clarity, while a french press or flat white preparation lets the honey and brown sugar sweetness come forward.
about the roasterie
the steam wand hisses at the roasterie on 10th street, and something about that sound tells you they're serious about coffee here. not the hurried rush of chain stores, but the deliberate pace of people who actually taste what they're making. 843 google reviews averaging 4.6 stars don't lie. regulars know the drill: walk into this kensington spot and you'll get a cup that tastes like someone cared about it from bean to brew. the baristas pull shots that actually highlight the coffee instead of drowning it in milk foam mountains. you can smell the difference when beans are roasted with attention rather than automation. calgary has plenty of coffee options, but the roasterie earns its spot because they understand something fundamental: good coffee isn't about fancy machinery or trendy origin stories. it's about consistency, skill, and respecting the process every single time.
