NINGA HILL #5
Producer Profile
This coffee comes from Long Miles’ Ninga station, a newer station, built in 2020. The station collects cherry from farmers on Ninga Hill, who grow their coffee at elevations between 1,800 and 2,000 masl. Ninga Hill located in Muramvya Province is very remote. Here the average farm size is a tiny 300 squre metres, and holds roughly 110 coffee plants. This particular lot is honey processed, and stood out to us on the cupping table with its dense sweetness and bright flavours.
Muramvya
Muramvya Province is located in Central Burundi, bordering Kayanza to the north. Coffee farms and stations here can be very remote, and like in the other coffee-growing regions of Burundi, coffee trees are very old, having been abandoned during times of conflict and then returned to in recent years.
Bourbon
Bourbon takes its name from Bourbon Island (now La Réunion), where it was introduced by French missionaries who had taken a few coffee seeds from Yemen in the 1700s. Along with Typica, Bourbon accounts for the basis of most of the world's coffee production today, which is made up of Bourbon and Typica descendant varieties. Bourbon is known for its high-quality potential, susceptibility to disease, and relatively low yields.
