Ninga Anaerobic Honey Bourbon by Long Miles Coffee Project, Burundi

From the hills of Ninga in Muramvya, this lot is produced in collaboration with the Long Miles Coffee Project, where hundreds of smallholder farmers deliver cherries to the Ninga washing station.

Grown at 2,000 meters above sea level, the coffee develops slowly in a cool, elevated climate — building sweetness, structure and clarity.

Taste Description:

The profile is juicy, structured and expressive.

In the cup, you’ll find notes of orange and dried fruit, layered with a rich raw honey sweetness. The acidity is vibrant and rounded, supported by a smooth, syrupy texture and a long, clean finish.

Process:

This lot is processed as an anaerobic honey, where the cherries are pulped and fermented in sealed tanks before drying. The controlled fermentation enhances fruit intensity while preserving balance and definition in the cup.

Ninga washing station has become known for producing some of the most distinctive lots from Burundi, combining traditional methods with careful, progressive processing.

A coffee that feels both vivid and composed.
Fruit-driven, sweet and quietly complex.

Ninga Hill

Ninga Hill sits high in the hills of Butanyerera in Burundi, where smallholder farmers cultivate coffee across steep terrain at elevations reaching over 2,000 meters above sea level.

Cherries are delivered to Ninga Washing Station, part of the Long Miles Coffee Project, where hundreds of farmers contribute to the production each season. The station was established to bring structure, consistency and fair access to a region where distance and isolation have long shaped coffee production.

The landscape is remote and densely green. Small rivers run through the hills, and coffee trees grow close to homes and narrow paths that connect the farms. Conditions are simple, but the potential is exceptional.

Since its first harvest, Ninga has become known for coffees with clarity, structure and layered expression.

Quietly complex.
Clean. Composed.
