Notes of apricot, raw sugar, and date create a profile that feels both lively and grounded. While the acidity brings energy to the cup, it’s supported by steady sweetness and evolving body that carry beautifully across roast levels.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-center para-style-body\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a_GcMg white-space-prewrap font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a_GcMg font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003eBusasa Coffee Washing Station sources coffee from approximately 1,600 smallholder farmers in the surrounding hills. Farmers delivering to Busasa receive a 20% premium above local market prices, while station staff earn wages nearly 60% higher than the national average. Busasa is part of Matraco, a Burundian-owned company that also operates two additional washing stations in the region. Matraco supports producers through compost distribution and seedling donations, and maintains close quality oversight by transporting coffee using its own fleet of trucks. As Burundi’s coffee sector has liberalized, increased access to washing stations and quality incentives has helped farmers improve both cup quality and livelihoods.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eElevation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1600-1800\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProcess\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWashed\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCultivar\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBourbon\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cedar Coffee Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50266021396673,"sku":null,"price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0848\/7967\/1489\/files\/BurundiBasasa.png?v=1779893073","url":"https:\/\/cedarcoffeecompany.com\/products\/burundi-busasa","provider":"Cedar Coffee Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
