burundi riwiri is a natural-process bourbon from the kayanza region of burundi, roasted by the wood roaster. drying the whole fruit naturally gives it a fruit-forward character, with lemon, grapefruit, and citrus zest sitting alongside stone fruit and a clean, tea-like finish that reads more delicate than heavy. because natural coffees carry pronounced sweetness and acidity, a pour-over or filter brew works well to keep those citrus and black tea qualities clear and distinct. grind medium-fine, use water around 93c, and avoid over-extraction, which can muddy the brighter notes.
