In the cup: candied plum, citrus, and quince, with loquat, apple, apricot, pink grapefruit, and undertones of dried fruit and cacao woven throughout. THE PRODUCER Busambo is a community in Kayanza province — one of Burundi's most celebrated coffee-growing regions, where producers cultivate Red Bourbon on small hillside plots, often without fertilisers due to their cost, growing coffee alongside bananas, maize, cassava, and beans as subsistence crops. Cherries are delivered to the Umoco washing station — named after the Kirundi word for "light" — on foot, by bicycle, or by motorcycle, where they are processed with meticulous care.…
