burundi riwiri is a natural-process bourbon from the kayanza region of burundi, roasted for filter by the wood roaster. natural processing means the coffee dried inside the whole fruit, which pulls through ripe stone fruit character alongside brighter citrus notes, lemon, grapefruit, and citrus zest. a black tea, tea-like quality keeps it clean and structured rather than jammy. brewed as a filter, either pour-over or batch brew, it rewards a medium-coarse grind and water around 9395°c to keep the citrus lift clear without pushing bitterness. a good pick if you want fruit-forward but not heavy.
