What San Agustín says about this coffee

Tongwe – Burundi: Café de Especialidad con Alma Volcánica y Compromiso Comunitario

Descubre el café Tongwe, una joya de especialidad procedente del corazón de África, cultivada en las fértiles tierras volcánicas del sur de Burundi. Este café destaca no solo por su perfil sensorial vibrante y complejo, sino también por su profundo impacto social en miles de pequeños productores que viven del café. Una combinación perfecta de sabor y propósito.

🌍 Origen y Procesamiento

La estación de lavado Tongwe, ubicada en la comuna de Bururi, fue inaugurada en 2015 y actualmente reúne a 525 pequeños productores. Bajo la supervisión de Gaspard Kantungeko, y con el respaldo técnico del agrónomo Eric Ndayisenga, el café se procesa cuidadosamente en 100 camas de secado que aprovechan el microclima de la zona. El suelo, de origen volcánico y rico en humus, aporta al grano una complejidad mineral única que se percibe en cada taza.

☕ Perfil Sensorial

Tasting notes

A further 5 facts on this page were read from part of the shop page that holds no sentence — a menu or a product grid — so there is nothing to quote for them.

Taken from the roaster’s own pages, and nothing here has been verified by us or by an independent body. What we store is a passage of page text cut around the fact, so one shown with an ellipsis is a passage we cannot see the start or the end of; only the fully quoted ones are complete sentences.
