We have partnered with Raw Materials to bring you an absolutely beautiful direct trade coffee from Burundi.

Raw Material is a social enterprise that maximises producer profits through the coffee we buy. In Burundi, they work to secure higher profits for both coffee producers and employees of station staff alike.

Raw Material processes and exports coffee from Burundi. The construction of a centralised washing station (not seen in all coffee producing countries) serves as a nucleus within a community. This localised position in a community benefits producers by distributing needed agricultural products, supporting the local community through funds, staff, and construction where needed. Raw Material create wide-reaching community benefits through and beyond the production and sale of their coffee.

Izuba meaning “sun” in Kirundi, is located in Runinya, Kabarore Commune, of Kayanza Province.

The Izuba washing station is set close to a nearby river, providing a vital and regular freshwater source for coffee processing. Derived from a 100% red bourbon, this natural coffee displays amazing complexity.

What to expect in your cup? Caramel sweetness, hibiscus & a beautiful citrus zest.
