From the producer

Smallholder farmers on remote Bumba Hill grew this harvest separation and delivered cherry to Ninga washing station, operated by Long Miles Coffee Project. The exact release does not name the individual farmers.

From the roaster

SEY describes the May 15 separation as its final Burundi release of the season after selecting several distinct Bumba Hill picking dates.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

This exact May 15 Bumba Hill separation was SEY’s final Burundi release of the season and remained distinct from the other Bumba picking dates.

Same coffee, different roaster?

Other roasters, same producer.

These coffees come from the same producer or farm, offered by other roasters. We never automatically declare two offerings the exact same coffee — a match requires lot, harvest and traceability details. Even a true same-lot pair can taste different: roast approach, freshness, rest and brewing all reshape the cup.
