Burundi - Masha Kayanza

Masha washing station in Kayanza Burundi accepts coffee from over 3200 local farmers. Each producer has only 297 trees on average on roughly .11 hectares of land. These small-holder farmers are reliant upon coffee for their livelihood. 

Harvest here is typically April through June, but coffee's have a long journey to export from this landlocked country.  

Coffee is processed at the BUDECA, SIVCA dry mill prior to export. 

Washed coffees in Burundi are typically depulped the same day they're harvested and delivered, and fermented underwater for 12–24 hours before being washed for about two hours. Then the coffees are spread on drying tables or raised beds, where they dry for about 20 days, depending on the weather.
