Ruvumu, Burundi
Ruvumu is a small community lot processed at the Umoco washing station, the central collection point for neighboring producers. Farmers typically deliver freshly harvested cherries on foot, while some make the trip by bicycle or motorcycle.
Coffee in this region is grown largely in full sun. With commercial fertilizers often out of reach, families depend on diversified subsistence crops, bananas, maize, cassava, and beans to sustain their households and farms.
At Umoco, processing is meticulous. Cherries undergo a double fermentation: 12 hours of wet fermentation, followed by an additional 12 hours resting in cement tanks. The parchment is then dried slowly over 20 to 25 days on traditional African raised beds, promoting clarity, structure, and balanced sweetness in the final cup.
